PostScript file resulting from conversion with pdftops from the XPDF package
Ubuntu Intrepid contains /usr/bin/pdftops in two packages: poppler-utils and
xpdf-utils. By default the one from poppler-utils is installed. For testing I
have switched to the one from xpdf-utils now and repeated the conversion of
testpage-a4-orig.pdf with this version.
The resulting file (attached testpage-a4-pdftops-xpdf.ps) is only slightly
different, but the page size is applied at one more point in the PostScript
file:

Perhaps this version is better in convincing the printer to consider the paper
as A4-sized.
pdftops of Poppler is version 3.0, of XPDF is version 3.02 ("pdftops -v").
I suggest to perhaps update Poppler's pdftops to this version.
