If you print the CUPS test page, do you see it printing correctly? The
test page shows the physical papersize and
printable area as reported by the driver.

Subject: [Hplip-help] Adjusting Printer Margins
Hi List,
I am using HPLIP 2.7.10 and am running Arch Linux (fully updated). My
printer is the Deskjet D4160.
I have been attempting to adjust my printer margins so that they are
"correct"; the printed margins in documents, text files, etc. do not
agree with the margins I specify within applications (for example, in
Page Setup, or something similar). Here are the steps I've taken so
far:
a) Step 6 on this page:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/CUPSDocumentati
on
b) Manual configuration of the Foomatic PPD file for my printer, named
HP-DeskJet_D4100- hpijs.ppd (editing *HWMargins, *ImageableArea, etc.)
c) The file "align.ps" in the Ghostscript directory,
/usr/share/ghostscript/8.60/lib/align.ps
The printer prints okay, it's just that the margins are incorrect in the
printed copy. The margin errors are consistent when I try printing with
different applications.
I am willing to take any steps necessary to arrive at a solution. I am
not a programmer, but I can maneuver pretty well through files and the
file system in general.
Thanks for you help,
-Patrick
