(Get the code!)
I have observed this problem with several other HP printers. Since the introduction of the CUPS Raster driver "hpcups" the margins of the printouts are not correct any more. This is easiest to see with the Ubuntu test page which gets printed from system-
To the developers at HP:
It is possible that it is caused by my last fixes on the "cups" output device of Ghostscript to add support for new PPD keywords and fix the margin handling (Ghostscript SVN revisions 9691, 9701, 9702, 9712, 9713, 9721, 9746 in April/May this year). These changes appear as patch inm Karmic's Ghostscript and will be in the officially released Ghostscript from version 8.65 on which is due next week. If you can fix this only in a way that it breaks for Ghostscript 8.64 and older, add a "--with-gs865" option to ./configure, so that one can choose the adjustment for either the old buggy "cups" output device or the new fixed one.
So please test with Ubuntu Karmic.
