How to print a PDF on a larger paper format

I am trying to print a PDF document via the command line. The PDF has the format of a business card. The paper I am printing on is in A6 format. I have tried the following command:

lpr -P  -o media=A6 ./BusinessCard.pdf

The job is sent to the printer (HP Officejet Pro 8620). Then the printer displays the following error message: >Selected print format does not match the paper format. As soon as I confirm the error, the print job is deleted from the queue. Is it possible to print a PDF with a smaller format than the paper loaded via the command line. I want the PDF to be printed in the upper left corner. # EDIT I went through the lpstat lpinfo lpq lpadmin pdfinfo pdftk xpdf man pages but could not find an option to overcome the format issue. Do I have to change my PDF before sending it to the printer?
