LJ m1120n MFP: One A4 test page is printed on 2 A4 sheets

Asked by alexby

the problem is very similar to this one #21749 (https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/21749)
I have to install HPLIP 2.8.10 to support this LJ m1120n MFP. It recognizes the printer.
The problem is when I tried to print "HP Printer Test Page" or CUPS's "Printer Test Page" the page is printed, but right after this page the printer throws out another page, the second page contains a narrow black line at the page top. It seems that this line is a part of the black border of the test page and this few pixels of the test page does not feet the printing area or so...
If I print the A4 PDF document the blank page comes after each printed page exactly as described in #21749.

I use Fedora 10

My hp-check -t output:

I have installed 2.8.12 reload ppd files from the internet and it works fine now.
I found that test page from CUP and from HPLIP reports slightly smaller page dimensions, less than a half of centimeter.
