There is DefaultPaperSize parameter in cupsd.conf, you can try using that
one.

> Hello All,

> US and even some in the UK.  Normally everything works flawlessly, however
> last night I ran into a strange issue.  For some reason, a bunch of jobs on
> 1 of the 3 CUPs servers ended up in a 'Stopped' state, about 120 jobs
> altogether. Going through the :631 gui I could easily restart the jobs that
> were stopped and they started printing without issue.  Why they stopped, I
