Regarding the "3-4 minutes":
What about DMA timeouts?
Prefer IP addresses.

Regarding "chops off the top part":
What about wrong page size settings on the client machine
(e.g. A4 in the application on the client but Letter for
the queue on the server)?

In general see for example
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell
in particular the "Configuring CUPS in the Network" section.

To get an idea regarding different printouts from different
machines have a look at
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Print_Settings_with_CUPS

Furthermore KDE has its own internal settings reagrding printing
which may not match to what is set for CUPS - to get an idea
see for example the meanwhile a bit outdated article
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Print_Settings_for_ASCII_Texts_with_CUPS

By the way:
Since our support database was converted from the old HTML style
to the new Wiki stlye, all more complicated list environments are
messed up because of the limited synax of Wiki list environments
(there is no closing tag for a list item) but I don't have the
time to correct all the mess manually at once.

Kind Regards
