That isn't what page size for the printer is.  It is the size of the 
paper that is in the printer.  If you want to fool something about the 
paper size, it is the application you should lie to not the print system.

First, make sure you don't have: "Expand small pages to paper size" 
checked in the Acroread print dialog box.  If you do, this is probably 
the problem.

To trouble shoot this, print to a file with Acroread.  Then you can open 
the PS file with a text editor.

You should find something like:

%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792

in the heading of the PS file.  That is in 72nds of an inch so just 
divide by 72 to get the value in inches.  This will tell you where on 
the paper the PDF page will be printed.  Note that in PS, this is 
measured from the bottom left corner of the paper.  So these four values 
are x and y for the lower left corner and x and y for the upper right 
corner.  So, the above is for a full 8.5 x 11 page.
