it uses the kdeprint system.

... A1 size is 3-sheet x 3-sheet.
Not exactly, but close enough. The PDF's native page size is:
Page size: 1728 x 2232 pts
72 pts per inch, 25.4 mm per inch
1728/72 = 24 in, * 25.4 = 609.6 mm
2232/72 = 31 in, * 25.4 = 787.4 mm
This is slightly larger than both ANSI "D" (22x34in) and ISO "A1"
(594x841mm).

8.5x11in (ANSI "A", aka "Letter") is 215.9 x 279.4 mm, so 3x3 Letter
sheets would be 647.7 x 838.2 mm. That's just enough to print the
map at its original dimensions!
