Hmm, that could just be an issue with the driver you are using -
normally you'll use "a4" and not "iso-a4", since "a4" is a standard
Adobe media size name and "iso-a4" is a PWG media size name, and we
don't (currently) map between them.

"lpoptions -p printer -l" will list the supported PageSize options.
