lpadmin does edit the PPD file, which is normally the only place
you'll find any default default options that can cause problems for
a client.

I'd go back through the Mac clients and make sure that there are
no printing preferences that are tied to A4 (in particular, you can
do a print preview and look at the page info to see what size page
was rendered)

Finally, Debian doesn't include the standard pdftops filter in their
cupsys package, so it is possible that the problem lies there - make
sure the defaults for their pdftops filter match up with your
expectations.
