I have now tested the original v5.3.4-pre2, and the 4 build Steve made.  They have all the same problems.  Once you get the Printer Features displayed, you can change them, however whether or not you change them you will not be able to print.  The paper size always showing US Letter does make some sense.  It would be set by location of user.
