No, my main issue is not that the right-hand part of the page is cutt off. I even can't confirm this for evince-print-preview.png ... It's the same amount of grid lines in the original PDF and the print preview (and when printed on paper): There are twelve red vertical lines (I guess what you called major grid lines) and further four green lines right to the twelvth line (counted from the left). The red line on the left is not viewable in Evince's screenshot since it matches the paper edge (nevertheless AR shows even this red line). Thus I still can't confirm your observations from #9 and #10. Please count again the grid lines.

My main issue is that Evince *shrinks* the page, or in other words it scales down the page. It's not a matter of the printer's printable area---then I would observe the same issue when printing with AR and Xpdf. AR and Xpdf are nearly printing to the edge of the paper (1.5 mm margins all around according to the printable area---Evince adds 9 mm left and top margin, 1.2 mm right margin,, 2.2 mm bottom margin). Evince's print preview doesn't know anything about the printers printable area. Even if it would it must not shrink the page! Evince must not add the non printable area/margins to the original margins. And it didn't till Karmic. Now there's something wrong with Evince that should be fixed---maybe it already is in 10.04 ...
