I am still experiencing this problem with cups version 1.4.8. An easy way
(for me) to reproduce the problem is to find a PDF of a book or scientific
journal, which do not tend to use 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper sizes.

For example, the journal Evolutionary Computation gives PDFs which are
7.00 x 10.00 inch. When these pages are printed 2-up, there are large
amounts of wasted space. Since the 7 x 10 aspect ratio is more narrow than
letter paper, there should be very little extra blank space.
