Thanks. That PPD actually explicitly specifies it supports custom page sizes:

> *ParamCustomPageSize Width: 1 points 216 612
> *ParamCustomPageSize Height: 2 points 360 1008
> *ParamCustomPageSize WidthOffset: 3 points 0 0
> *ParamCustomPageSize HeightOffset: 4 points 0 0
> *ParamCustomPageSize Orientation: 5 int 0 3
> *CustomPageSize True: "pop pop pop <</PageSize[5 -2 roll]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"

It makes sense to support that at least for such PPDs IMHO.

In a quick test using a custom page size from Gedit (Gtk print dialog) and Kate
(Qt print dialog), those passed 'PageSize=Custom.113.39x113.39' or
'media=Custom.40x40mm' to CUPS, which at a quick glance is what CUPS doc at [1]
says:

> When Custom is listed for the PageSize option, you can specify custom media sizes using one of the following forms:
> 
> lp -o media=Custom.WIDTHxLENGTH filename
> lp -o media=Custom.WIDTHxLENGTHin filename
> lp -o media=Custom.WIDTHxLENGTHcm filename
> lp -o media=Custom.WIDTHxLENGTHmm filename
