Set up your printer through the CUPS interface, . As you do this, you can select all sorts of printer configuration options. Also read man lpoptions;man lpadmin, and if you want more, start with man -k CUPS.
I have three CUPS "queues" set up, all pointing to the same physical printer, to let me print on 8 1/2 x 11, Env10 envelopes, or type 8163 labels. In the past, I've also set up printing to A4 paper, 3-hole 8 1/2 x 11.
Here's what my lpoptions -l output for each of my current queues (all current values are listed, an initial * marks the currently selected value) (note the paper type "Custom.WIDTHxHEIGHT". I assume WIDTH and HEIGHT are in inches, based on other paper types)):
$ for i in $( lpstat -a | awk '{print $1}' ) ; do
> echo -e "\t\tprinter $i"
> lpoptions -p $i -l | grep '\*'
> echo
> done printer deskjet
