That's in the PPD, right.

Look for a bunch of lines like

*PageSize Letter/Letter: "
    <</PageSize [612 792] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice"
*End

and just add the size you need, e.g.

*PageSize Square6/6 by 6 inch: "
    <</PageSize [432 432] /ImagingBBox null>> setpagedevice"
*End

(where "6 by 6 inch" is the size displayed in printer-option
dialogs, and 432x432 is the papersize in dots (6*72=432).

nb: There might be other options where you need to add your new
size, e.g. PageRegion, ImageableArea or PaperDimension -- just
search the PPD for "Letter" to find them.
