If you have problems with the margins of your printout, can you try the
following:

Edit the PPD file for your print queue, /etc/cups/ppd/<queue name>.ppd.
Look for a line beginning with "*HPMechOffset:" and modify the number in
it, for example change

*HPMechOffset: "70"

to

*HPMechOffset: "50"

Then restart CUPS:

sudo service cups restart

or

sudo restart cups

and print again. Did the printout move on the paper? Did it move closer
to the expected position? Repeat the steps with other numbers for
"*HPMechOffset:",

If you succeed to correct the problem this way, tell us which printer
you have and which value was best. Tell us also if you did not succedd
and also for that case which printer you have.
