For me your attached files print correctly if
1. You have installed the latest CUPS package (1.3.9-2ubuntu6). Note
that 2ubuntu5 is broken. Do not use it.
2. Either the default paper size for your print queue is set to A3 or
you select A3 paper size when sending the job.
The following test command lines gave always correct results for me
(display the PostScript file /tmp/printout after each "lpr" call):
cupsctl LogLevel=debug
cupsctl FileDevice=yes
lpadmin -p a -E -v /tmp/printout -P
/usr/share/ppd/openprinting/HP/HP_LaserJet_5200.ppd.gz -o PageSize=A3
lpr -P a A3landscape.pdf
lpr -P a A3portrait.pdf
lpadmin -p a -o PageSize=A4
lpr -P a -o PageSize=A3 A3landscape.pdf
lpr -P a -o PageSize=A3 A3portrait.pdf
If you print out of evince ("Document Viewer") you MUST choose the
correct paper size (A3 here) under "Print Setup" before printing. Note
also that evince does not remember the paper size which you have
selected for your last printout. The problem is evince here, due to not
very user-friendly handling of the page size.
