[cups.general] CUPS, Windows and HP Laserjet print margins

[Joris Dobbelsteen]

Dear,

I have some Windows clients that have to print on a HP Laserjet 1012 
connected to a CUPS server. Unfortunately, when using the Adobe 
postscript printer, the printed margins are way off. In this case, these 
margins are quite critical to properly align everything before the next 
duplication step.
I did notice the Microsoft Publisher Typesetter generated postscript had 
the margins way off, but the Adobe postscript driver does seem to 
generate the correct pages.

Directly connecting the printer to a Windows box and using the HP 
drivers doesn't cause any problems with margins. So it should be able to 
perform this OK.

My setup:
Windows XP SP2, Adobe postscript driver
  |
Debian 4.0, CUPS 1.2.7
(+ all drivers, HPlib...)
  |
Gentoo, CUPS 1.3.7-r1
no drivers, only intended as TCP to USB...
  |
HP Laserjet 1012

Since I have relative no to little experience with this, where should I 
even start and what should I do to get my problem sorted?

Thanks,

- Joris
