First, you can use any PPD you want that already supports A3 paper sizes.
When acrobat turns the file into a PDF, it will loose _all_ printer
specific commands anyway. Just choose a Lino PPD or something like the HP
4M/4MV which supports larger paper sizes.

Your test should be fine. However, the Xerox ppds should work also. Can you
email them to me privately? I will take a look and see what is up. From
time to time we find PPD's that are "broken", but for some reason Adobe
products can still use them. The files don't follow the convention for
PPDs, but they must have a very relaxed parser. I keep easing ours up, but
I never know how far to take it. Seems people keep inventing new ways to
break the PPD file format convention.
