I'm really confused about the values that appear in the PPD files provided with HPLIP.
I'm working with an HP-8750 and according the "Technical Documentation:Printable Areas" table a 1/8 inch (0.125 in) border is used on each side. Measuring on my system I have found this to be true and looking at the ijs code I also found 0.125 used for the margins. It would seem that the "HWMargins" entry in the PPD should be "9 9 9 9" but is actually "18 36 18 9". Looking at the entries for 4x6 photo paper the "PaperDimension" entries for "Photo" and "PhotoTearOff" make sense at "288 432" for both but the "ImageableArea" for "Photo" is "0 36 288 432" and for "PhotoTearOff" is "0 0 288 432". I would think that both should be "9 9 270 414" to account for the 0.125 inch margins. I have thought that "PhotoTearOff" might be defined with the "ImageableArea" the same as the "PaperDimension" assuming that it would be used for full bleed printing but that doesn't seem to explain "Photo". I admit that I haven't read the rather voluminous document describing PPD files so perhaps I am missing something rather fundamental.
