margins or page size ignored when using cpi?

It appears that margins are being ignored when I use the cpi option to try and print text.

I'm trying to get the plain text output to match (or be close enough to) the output from an older system running an old lpd.  If I give cups a raw queue and send the text to the old system, it prints fine.

If I give cups a real queue, and send the text, it prints too large, wraps etc., so I tried setting lpi and cpi options.  Now the text scales down close to the size it should be, but it looks like I've got a 4 inch margin.  Setting page-right didn't help either.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong, or what is going wrong (and hopefully how to fix it)?
