Title:
  wrong margins on HP photosmart 5520 printer

Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, hplip package 3.14.3-0ubuntu3

  With the hplip Ubuntu package, when printing with any A4 paper size
  (A4 / A4 small margins / A4 borderless), output is cut on the edges of
  the page (more than 1 cm is cut from each edge).

  Using upstream hplip 3.14.4 downloaded from http://hplipopensource.com
  , with A4 paper size, prints as expected : margins are only a few
  millimeters wide, and apps don't try to print within these margins.

  Test case : remove printer from CUPS, setup printer with hp-setup then change paper size with CUPS, open LibreOffice, select printer and page size in "printer settings" dialog, set margins to the lowest allowed value in "format > page > page > margins", print page.
  Tried with other apps than LibreOffice too.

  After reviewing a few bug reports about margin issues with hplip, it seems the timeline for this problem is the following :
  - margins were wrong in the ppd files from the original upstream packages
  - Debian and Ubuntu included a patch to alter page size in the ppd files
  - upstream fixed the margins size bug, thus causing a regression in Debian and Ubuntu packages
  - Debian fixed their patch to work with the fixed upstream release [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=655106#52]
  I'm not sure whether the fixed Debian patch has been ported to Ubuntu. I tried comparing the patches in the sources packages hplip_3.14.1-1.debian.tar.xz from Debian, and hplip_3.14.3-0ubuntu3.debian.tar.gz from Ubuntu, and it seems that the patches are the same now, so maybe that problem has nothing to do with my bug.

  I can add log files or ppd files if needed...
