I should have said that I had done all the normal things.  It prints 
only the A4 part of the image regardless of what the printer 
configuration is set to do.  That is why I was looking for an expert 
forum in which to enquire.  

I do have a secondary problem that one workstation will not allow 
configuration changes (client-error-not-authorized), even though its 
cupsd.conf is effectively identical to the box that does let me set A3.  
But I'll be happy if I can get it to work again from the second box.  It 
did work as expected when I first installed the printer, about three 
months ago, and I do not know of any changes that I have made that would 
affect it.  The two boxes are running sid and sarge, FWIW.

Thanks anyway,
