Check that there is no /etc/cups/lpoptions file which contains a page size which contradicts the default in /etc/cups/ppd/Kyocera.ppd (but if there was such a file, "lpoptions -p <queue_name> -l" would have shown the page size from that file marked as default).
The system I'm testing this on is pretty much vanilla openSUSE 11.3, except it has KDE4.5.1 and the last updates - there was no /etc/cups/lpoptions.
If there is no such /etc/cups/lpoptions file, any application or printing dialog which shows a default page size which is not the one in /etc/cups/ppd/Kyocera.ppd has very likely a bug or it does not query CUPS for the actual default paper size (the latter is strictly speaking not a bug but a missing feature)
This would seem to affect at least FF, TB and Gimp which all use the same printing dialogue.
which proves that "There is no such thing as THE default paper size" and the consequence is that you have to set such stuff manually (sometimes even again and again in the same application when the application cannot save your settings).
Hmm. Seems to me that we ought to be putting more focus on getting this sort of trivial thing to "just work".
