they're starting from the right you say).

Just for fun, have you tried scaling down the pages that OOo prints?
In Calc: Format > Page > Sheet try scaling down to see if you can get
the page to print without cropping. This will at least determine if the
problem is fixable by some adjustment somewhere. What do you see?

It may be that the drivers understanding of the printers margins, or
total printable area is not correct. If the total width is correct, but
the right margin is too far to the left, then it will crop at the left
margin, right? That sort of thing.

>From memory (several years old now), deep down in CUPS there are config
files for driver parameters that affect alignment. These are numbers
that can't be manipulated normally through the print admin tools. In the
past I've used some alignment test prints on HP lasers because the
default driver settings had trouble. I found these on the web at the
time but I couldn't locate them again just now.

You could also see if TurboPrint has drivers that work for you. I think
they have time limited demo versions for download.
