"Default Postscript" and "Create PDF File" are not created by cups but
are gnome-print specific. They are defined in
/usr/share/libgnomeprint/2.7.0/printers/*.xml or so

You can change the default paper size for those. Look in the appropriate
configuration for 
      <Key Id="Media">
        <Key Id="PhysicalSize" Value="A4" />
      </Key>

The print dialog should show you all configured cups printers. If cups
is not available on your machine a separate printer "lpr" should be
shown.

gnomeprint is simply inquiring about existing printers from libcups. I
have no idea why you would get an empty list.
