The properties of the Imageable Area of my printer are:
Page Size: 8.0 x 11.06 in or 203.2 x 281.0 mm
Lower-Left: 0.14 x 0.51 in or 3.4 x 12.8 mm
Upper-Right: 8.14 x 11.57 in or 206.6 x 293.8 mm

With these values I can print a document on paper size of A4 with margin 
lines shown hereinafter

but the margin lines at the bottom of the page are not shown up.

I would like to setup CUPS and/or HPIJS so that I get the imageable area 
increased and then I expect to can print my document so I can see the 
margin lines at the bottom of the A4 page, like:

I try to see any settings in the file 
/etc/cups/ppd/Business_Inkjet_1000.ppd

and find lines:
*DefaultImageableArea: A4
*ImageableArea Letter/Letter: "18 36 594 783"
*ImageableArea A4/A4: "9.72 36 585.28 833"
...

I don't know with which values can I change these settings?

Can I setup the CUPS and/or HPIJS to get the imageable area increased?

Any advices is appreciated!
