Page mangled when printing via USB

[Fabian Peters]

Hi all,

We've got two Kyocera FS-1010 (simple b+w postscript lasers) in use.  
One is connected via the parallel interface to a FreeBSD box, which  
acts as a simple lpd print server. When printing a PDF on this  
printer from OS X 10.4 (via the lpd queue of the BSD box), the page  
comes out as expected. The other FS-1010 is connected via USB to an  
OS X box. Printing the same PDF here results in an output where the  
margins have changed and some of the content is cut off, i.e. simply  
not printed.

I vaguely remember having dealt with something similar in an early  
version of OS X. There was some sort of filtering going on where the  
original document got embedded in a wrapper. Does anybody know more  
about this or even how to circumvent such problems and send the PDF  
straight to the printer?

TIA

Fabian
