When printing a PS file with kprinter, the selected page size is actually ignored because the PS file usually already contains the pafe dimension (bounding box). In "kprinter" mode, kdeprint just sends the print options to CUPS, but some can be ignored by CUPS. For example, the page size is only used by CUPS when you send plain text: in that case, CUPS converts the text to PS using an enscript-like tool, where it can make use of the target paper size. When printing a PS file, it's useless (== too late).
