Also a problem with copying and printing on both L7780 and an old dx155xi. For the printing I forced margins to 0mm to see if that would make a difference, however text was still chopped as with the copy.

Testing just with the L7700 series on windows using acrobat reader to print the same PDF 'cheats' and scales the document down slightly (introducing a margin around the document when printing duplex), although I presume this scaling is probably done post Acrobat.

I guess it's possible that the full page printing mechanism inside the printer is disabled for a duplex print/copy, which the windows driver is aware of and scales the document appropriately. As this impacts both copying and printing I guess some kind of workaround is still needed inside HPLIP (to make it function more like it's windows counter part) and HP needs to do something in their firmware to fix copying.
