I had similiar symptoms and found this issue report. Using 10.04 and
evince 2.30.3, the top margin is too big and the bottom is too small.
CUPS is working fine and man:lpoptions -l shows the correct PageSize.
Other programs (e.g. a2ps) print accurately.
So either 1) evince is broken or 2) it is using config beyond CUPS. I
found the $HOME/.gnome2/evince directory, which contains print-settings.
This file has PPDNAME=A4. When I set evince print->page setup->paper
size to "US Letter", it prints with correct margins. Once changed, the
printer-settings file is updated with "US Letter".
It's unclear why evince needs an additional printer control layer beyond
CUPS, perhaps for portabiltiy.
Setting issue to Invalid state
** Changed in: evince (Ubuntu)
