However, this did not work for Kyocera. I would like to know is it CUPS’s job to do the actual scaling or it is up to the printer to do the scaling?

Unless instructed, it is the printer's job. However, CUPS supports the "fit-to-page" option in recent versions (used to be called "fitplot") which will accomplish what you want:

	lp -d printer -o fitplot filename

or:

	lp -d printer -o fit-to-page filename
