At (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=348518&highlight=header+print+firefox) I just wrote the following:

"I was just bitten by this one too. Ubuntu 6.10 with an HP LJ 4200.

There are 2 places to set the margin in Firefox, properties from the print dialog, and then the other at File -> Page Setup.

The one in the print dialog properties was set to 0.04" and you can't set it any higher than 0.5" for some reason. Setting this to 0.5" all around helped, but not enough, so I also changed the top and bottom margins at File -> Page Setup to 0.7".

That did the trick."

After reading the info here in launchpad, I tried printing from Konqueror and it does not have this problem. (But it uses KDE's print dialog and UI.)

Test pages via the CUPS web UI print perfectly, so I that would seem to confirm that it is not CUPS at fault.

Printing by some other apps like Acrobat and OpenOffice seems to work fine too, as does something like "lp filename.pdf"
