I guess that's for a local override? It's currently empty.
Yes. When a particular user's ~/.cups/lpoptions file is empty, the print queue settings for this user are whatever the defaults are at the "well known places" in the system.
Any printing dialog should show up with the same user-specific default settings which are marked by a leading '*' in the lpoptions -p <queue_name> -l output.
That shows A4 being the default media size. The media source is shown as "Internal *PF60A and MF1" which is usually represented in the printing dialogue as "Cassette 1", "Cassette 2" and "MPF".
/etc/cups/ppd/Kyocera.ppd has "DefaultPageSize: A4".
Nonetheless, I still had to change from US Letter to A4 manually??
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). 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) 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).
