No, because I have my locale set (I thought) appropriately to
LANG=en_US.UTF-8.
Based on this, checking /etc/Xprint/en_US/print/attributes/document
revealed:
# US and some other countries use US-Letter as default paper size
# ("C"-locale default is "ISO-A4")
*default-medium: na-letter
Which would appear to be correct. For grins, I changed
/etc/Xprint/C/print/attributes/document to
*content-orientation: portrait
*copy-count: 1
*default-medium: na-letter
*default-printer-resolution: 300
on both the cups server and client machines, and restarted xprint (just
to be safe). Test output from both the client and server itself still
exhibit the exact same problem at the end of the pages. To be
consistent with my testing I printed the same URL each time. In all
cases except Postscript/Default the last few lines of the first page
are truncated.
You can see the truncation in this scan:
