I may have sent that reply too soon. I played around with the paper
settings and it seems that if I manually set the paper size to A4 (I
though I did that before...), I can now print in A4 as expected. 

So my problems are solved! ;-)

To summarize, moving away the PPD files from the locations I had them in
(/usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/ and /usr/local/share/cups/model/) fixed the
printer freezing problem for me.

Thanks to Joe for your help.

P.S. Closing and re-opening gedit seems to have the default paper size
as Letter (when I want it to be A4), but this a minor hassle that I can
live with.

Thanks again,

Lachlan
