Printer printing A3 size when A4 selected

[JustinRDC]

My ApeosPort-IV C5575 printer some times prints what looks like an A3 page onto an A4 bit of paper when A4 is the selected paper size. This happens when printing PDF documents with Adobe reader, and also word docs in Office 2010.

Looking at the paper size, everything looks fine.

This happens very randomly and after a while it will fix it self and print at normal size. 

It is very hard to recreate the problem because of how inconsistently it happens.

Note: This is being printed using a terminal server running server 2008 R2

Any help would be most appreciated as this is a very annoying issue.
