Bug Description
I got a report from a colleague with a HP DeskJet 6540
for openSUSE 10.3 (i.e. HPLIP 2.7.7).
Perhaps it is already fixed in HPLIP 2.7.10?
Printing "simplex" with
echo -e 'Hello' | lp -d <queue> -o page-border=single
works correct. In particular the boder line is printed completely.
In contrast printing in duplex mode with
echo -e 'Hello\fWorld' | lp -d <queue> -o page-border=single \
-o Duplex=
cuts the word "Hello" and "World" and parts of the boder line
from the printout.
If I remember correctly there was a mail on the hplip mailing list
that for duplex a smaller imageable area is used inside the driver.
If this is true, it must lead to clipped printouts whenever an
application which produceds the PostScript input fills up the
whole imageable area as specified in the PPD file - i.e. when
the application works in compliance how CUPS is designed.
For example the CUPS texttops filter does it. In particular its
border line marks exactly the imageable area.

My colleague tested HPLIP 2.7.10 from download. opensuse. org/repositorie s/home: /jsmeix/

and it is not fixed there so that the report is valid for current HPLIP.
