Which printer?
Which driver (i.e. what is the NickName entry in the
PPD file /etc/cups/ppd/a6-kartei)?
If you remember:
Do you now use the same driver as you used with Suse Linux 9.1?

Does it happen only with this one file "graphen.pdf"?
Does it happen only with "-o page-ranges=1"?
Or does it also happen when you print for example plain text
with a border line so that you can see where the printed
area is, for example
echo "Hello" | lp -d a6-kartei -o page-border=single
Does the CUPS test page print correctly?
Is the printed "Imageable Area" information on the CUPS test page
as you expect it?
Print it via the CUPS web-interface or print it directly via
lp -d a6-kartei /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps
