This is a foomatic printer driver which allow custom page sizes.
And this may be you problem.

Which page size is selected? Maybe you should choose a smaller one or you
should use custom page size.

You are printing from windows or linux?
What is your input format? ASCII? Postscript?

You can figure out all supported pages sizes with:
"lpoptions -p printer -l"


For printing you can use:

lp -d printer -o PageSize=A4 /path/filename
or
lp -d printer -o PageSize=Custom.595x595 /path/filename
(595 = 21cm)


You can also use interface scripts for printing ASCII text on this printers.
At least on dot matrix printers this can produce better results.  ;)

best regards!
