Bug 118467

Description:
Hi,

Since hpijs was dropped in favour of hpcups, I have a problem when printing. The basic problem is: when I print an A4 page from Libreoffice on my HP Officejet 6700 Premium printer (with cups and the hpcups driver for my printer model), AND I have an upper page margin which is set to less than 1,5 cm, everything which is beyond this margin isn't printed.

Note: this is NOT a hardware problem. I can print PDF's with very low margins (under 1,5 cm). And I can print without problems my A4 pages with Abiword. The problem only happens when I print with Libreoffice (or Openoffice).

Now: after a lot of searches I found out, watching at the cups logs (in debugging mode) that the problem could come from the fact that Libreoffice, when printing my A4 pages, seems to change the page format to A4.Duplex (though Duplex mode is disabled in the cups configuration for the printer). Indeed, I've read (here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1352316) that page margin rules are different than standard rules for Duplex printing. Now: in the PPD file for the printer, I tried to delete all the A4.Duplex lines, and that "solves" the problem.

In the cups logs (/var/log/cups/error_log), here are some relevant lines when the problem happens:

Please note the wrong PageSize and the reduced HWMargin.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a A4 page ready to print
2. Print the page

Actual Results:
Cups prints the A4 page with A4.Duplex pagesize and the upper page text (within 1,5 cm margin) isn't printed.

Expected Results:
Cups should print a normal A4 page including the upper page text (within 1,5 cm margin).
