It's about sending to CUPS the config selecting the desired paper format, from which CUPS (or the printer) can choose the paper source.

On the application's part, KDE/Qt can print on any format the application supports (and the user chooses).

It's like printing letter formatted (virtual) pages on a4 (physical) paper pages (on purpose).

This only means offering the appropriate list of formats that the PPD file indicates for the selected printer. At that point, the document can be already formatted. This is a JJ job.

Indeed, the full functionality offered by KPrinter (prior selection of various appropriate printing options like margins, virtual page dimensions etc.) could not include physical page size matching to virtual page size, not until Qt-4.4.

That's how I saw it.
