I'm getting garbled printouts when I try to print to my xp network
shared printer, an HP DeskJet 722C, from my OpenBSD 4.1 box. A good
for instance is the OpenBSD home page. Graphics printed great, but
about 3/4 of the left side of the page was lopped off, and the
sentences on the right were in some places garbled or the top half
of the letters lopped off.

I've got the following installed:

1) enscript
2) ghostscript & ghostscript fonts
3) cups
4) pna2ppa - d/l from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pnm2ppa/
   (It built & installed on the system without any problems)
5) HP-DeskJet_722C-pnm2ppa.ppd d/l from linuxprinting
6) samba (probably didn't need it but it's quicker from the
   xp box than nfs for when I'm lazy & don't want to use scp)
7) cupsd, smbd, & nmbd load fine on boot from /etc/rc.local

I tried changing firefox's page layout margins to match what the
cups printing defaults were in the print dialog. But, when you're
configuring the printer from the browser interface, the margins
you're offered don't seem to correspond. I.E., first instance is
0 and then goes to 10 and i don't understand what the increments
are. mm? I also checked /etc/pnm2ppa.conf and commented everything
out except for the 720 part which covers that whole series of
printers.I've got the device url set to lpd://xpbox/HPDeskJet and
I know that's right because at least it's trying to print now.
I printed a couple of text only pages from the rfc's main site
perfectly. I don't know if it's having trouble with page tables or
what. Any help much appreciated. Any other info I didn't supply
but possibly need to, please let me know.
