Okay, I have tried printing to A5 from Evince (A5 pdf) and gEdit (plain text), but with the printer loaded with A4 paper. (The printer is unable to report paper size back to the system.)
In each case, the output was centred on a Letter sized area (so, offset from the centre of A4), but the printed area was A5 sized. Thus the printed output appeared approximately centred on an A4 sheet.
Attached is the *original CUPS generated* ppd file. Note that there is some inconsistency in paper sizing:
DefaultPageSize and DefaultPageRegion are set to A4;
DefaultImageableArea and DefaultPaperDimension are set to Letter.
Changing the second two to A4 makes no difference to the printed output (including system reboot). All system settings are for European locale and A4 default (as far as I know).
