We have verified that GS-LPD included in Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 sarge does not print properly on A3 and B5.
[Solution]
The following procedure assumes the PPD file for LP-S3000. The procedure is the same for PPD files for other models.
- Acquire the PPD file for GS-LPD from OpenPrinting.
Download the PPD file for your model from the following URL.
(If you have already downloaded the file, skip to step 2.)

- Open the downloaded PPD file with an editor. Modify the section marked (Before) as indicated as (After), and save.
