Doesn't force the media option as -sPAPERSIZE for gs

I forgot to say that this only poses a problem when the original postscript file has its bounding box modified by the pstops filter in CUPS, since then gs doesn't know how to position the print on the sheet. It should be pretty easy to "force" the papersize to gs via the PPD or foomatic-rip, at least for the maintainer(s).

Note that with practically all drivers the paper size is supplied to Ghostscript, as all PPDs have a "PageSize" option. They do not all use the "-sPAPERSIZE" option for Ghostscript, most embed PostScript commands into the job data to set the paper size, some others use "-sDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS" and "-sDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS".

To find out what your problem is more information is needed. Which printer do you have? Which driver are you using? Which files did you send to the printer?

Can you attach the PPD file for your printer (from /etc/cups/ppd) and also files which you tried to print and which came out broken?

One update: To make it possible that foomatic-rip can also feed PDF instead of PostScript into Ghostscript we have changed most PPDs to use "-sDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS" and "-sDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS" to supply the dimensions of the paper to Ghostscript without foomatic-rip needing to convert the PDF to PostScript first.

iazz , please still supply us with everything which I have asked you in the previous comment.
