I also can't get anything to print correctly from F-Spot.

I just brought home an HP Photosmart C3180. I have tried all option combinations I can imagine under F-Spot and the print config dialog and I get the exact behaviour you describe above. The printer first refuses to print because it doesn't believe the paper is the correct size. When I override this warning I get a corner printed with the rest of the image cropped off. It's as if the image hasn't been scaled down to fit.

I have successfully printed using the HPLIP gui tool although this has scaled keeping the aspect ratio correct and this has resulted in white margins top and bottom. I intend to see if I can resolve this but even if I can using the HPLIP tool is a pretty horrible workaround for printing photos.

This is using Hardy, I haven't tested Intrepid but the post above suggests that won't help.
