Bug Description
Binary package hint: hplip
Hi. I have an HP DeskJet D2600 connected via USB. When I turned the printer on, a default configuration named Deskjet-
In the printer configuration if I change the driver to "HP Deksjet d2600 Series hpijs [en]" or "HP Deksjet d2600 Series hpijs 3.9.6b.4 [en]" the margin problem is corrected, but now black contents is printed in what looks like a combination of colors that appears black but looks more like dark brown.
What I'm hoping for is that the margins for the default driver are corrected. I can provide any information that might be needed. Thanks.

I have observed this problem with several other HP printers. Since the introduction of the CUPS Raster driver "hpcups" the margins of the printouts are not correct any more. This is easiest to see with the Ubuntu test page which gets printed from system- config- printer. This is an upstream bug of HPLIP.
To the developers at HP:
It is possible that it is caused by my last fixes on the "cups" output device of Ghostscript to add support for new PPD keywords and fix the margin handling (Ghostscript SVN revisions 9691, 9701, 9702, 9712, 9713, 9721, 9746 in April/May this year). These changes appear as patch inm Karmic's Ghostscript and will be in the officially released Ghostscript from version 8.65 on which is due next week. If you can fix this only in a way that it breaks for Ghostscript 8.64 and older, add a "--with-gs865" option to ./configure, so that one can choose the adjustment for either the old buggy "cups" output device or the new fixed one.
So please test with Ubuntu Karmic.
