5180 cut print

Asked by Francesco

I own an HP 5180 printer.
I've buy it becouse of its support under linux.
I try to print some label sheet with OpenOffice 2.3, the preview is nice, but when printer put it into paper cut on left, right and bottom margin.
I've looked around on HPLIP Tools, CUPS Tools and of course OpenOffice settings, but except OpenOffice nowhere there is a "margin" settings.
Openoffice is set to have a 0,19 mm left, right and bottom margin, top is set to 10 mm.

I use ubuntu 7.10, the printer is connected by LAN.

Thanks

Sorry for the delay, I have been able to reproduce it as well. But I can print other openoffice docs, so I think it has something to do with the template. Sorry I couldn't help more.

I make some test with few printer; all prints the same cut.
Make some modification to document and got it printer regularry from other printer; i will test it on HP C5180 this afternoon.
Seems like a mix of setting mistake and wrong preview of Openoffice.
