Thx for the advice, but i cant get it working.

tried around with many differnt drivers and still have no luck.
im using a HPLJ2200 and i insert the A5 via the manual feeder.
cups is configured for A5 and manual feed.
i can insert them longedge or shortedge.

i scanned one printout in for better visibility.

i marked the A5 area.

thats how a print looks when i insert the paper longedge.

im happy about any hint, because im running out of ideas atm.

greetings
