I did, but in vain -- I thought at first. I also had to reconfigure the
printer through the cups web-frontend to make it use the changed ppd.
Now it's a half-solution, A4 being the fixed paper size as Letter was
before.
While this will do for approx. 98% of my print jobs, I still wonder why
I can't change the media format through xpp.

I also changed the following .ppd line (was 'False'):

*VariablePaperSize: True

If this makes any difference, I didn't notice it so far.

personal fault; if this message again comes in several copies, I'll need
help with my configuration for evolution as well...
