The default installation of SuSE printers uses A4 paper
No. There is no "The default". It is much more complicated: See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=88286 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=169750 See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=148707 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=65482 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=154983 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=163163 See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=150283 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=165194 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=165195
which will cause your printer to hang up.
Only if you have set up your printer internally (i.e. via the printer's built-in menue) to check the paper size and stop and request the right paper if documents in a non-standard size are sent to it. Usually only a PostScript printer (in PostScript mode) can check the size of a PostScript document which is sent it it.
