I've had this problem for over a year with my Sarge CUPS LaserJet series II driver. I looked around at the time for some kind of offsetting adjustment, but never really found anything.
Any way to modify settings in CUPS to internalize this offset? I get the offsetting problem when printing from anything (e.g., open office) not just lp.
I've got this printer exposed via CUPS and samba, and it is a bit frustrating that my wife's windows laptop has no such issue when it prints.
