When I print a PDF from Evince I get a large top margin which cuts of
the top and bottom text, even when reduced to 90%.

Printing from qpdfview lets me adjust the margins in Properties and the
document prints properly. Given this, it seems to be an Evince and other
applications bug with a lack of advanced settings prior to printing.

Title:
  Incorrect margins when printing to a laser printer using CUPS 1.6.x

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a Brother HL-2270DW laser printer and I'm having issues with
  print margins using the official drivers by Brother after I upgraded
  to Quantal and these issues still persist with Raring.

  Other users reported similar problems with different printers mostly
  Brother:

  I have also a Brother MFC-J6510DW inkjet all-in-one printer and it
  works fine.

  I've found out that a workaround for the Brother original driver is to
  print your document as .ps file and then print that file.

  However using some Generic PCL drivers I can get correct margins in
  particular with Foomatic/ljet4 and Foomatic/ljet4d.

  Following directions in Debugging Printing Problems, I've enabled
  "Save debugging information for troubleshooting" and I've captured a
  print job. However the captured file appears to be OK whereas the
  printed file has wrong margins (left +6 mm; top -4 mm).
