I can confirm that this bug is still present in 13.04. Using the add printer function from the desktop gui to find a network connected HP Photosmart 6510 and accepting all the defaults, results in a configuration which clips at the top and bottom margins. The simple fix is to go into the printer's properties in the desktop gui and change the "Make and Model:" to refer to "hpijs" rather than "hpcups". On my system the working "Make and Model" is "HP Photosmart 6510 Series hpijs, 3.13.3". When the gui asks you about the ppd tell it to use a new (default) one and the reapply any of your required changes (e.g. duplex printing).

I have an HP DeskJet D2600 connected via USB. When I turned the printer on, a default configuration named Deskjet-D2600-series (using the "HP Deskjet d2600 Series [en]" driver) was generated that I can see in the gnome printer configuration window. When I print a test page the contents has a big margin at the top and the bottom is cut off. In the printer configuration if I change the driver to "HP Deksjet d2600 Series hpijs [en]" or "HP Deksjet d2600 Series hpijs 3.9.6b.4 [en]" the margin problem is corrected, but now black contents is printed in what looks like a combination of colors that appears black but looks more like dark brown. What I'm hoping for is that the margins for the default driver are corrected. I can provide any information that might be needed. Thanks.
