Reply from upstream:

--------- snip ----------
The patch isn't valid - custom page sizes are already set in the
cupsMarkOptions() call.

Passing NULL for the size name returns the currently marked size - will
add documentation for that.

What options are being passed to the filter?

(a debug error_log file will show the options...)

Thanks,

Martin
