Using upstream hplip 3.14.4 downloaded from http://hplipopensource.com , with A4 paper size, prints as expected : margins are only a few millimeters wide, and apps don't try to print within these margins. Test case : remove printer from CUPS, setup printer with hp-setup then change paper size with CUPS, open LibreOffice, select printer and page size in "printer settings" dialog, set margins to the lowest allowed value in "format > page > page > margins", print page. Tried with other apps than LibreOffice too. After reviewing a few bug reports about margin issues with hplip, it seems the timeline for this problem is the following : - margins were wrong in the ppd files from the original upstream packages - Debian and Ubuntu included a patch to alter page size in the ppd files - upstream fixed the margins size bug, thus causing a regression in Debian and Ubuntu packages - Debian fixed their patch to work with the fixed upstream release [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=655106#52] I'm not sure whether the fixed Debian patch has been ported to Ubuntu. I tried comparing the patches in the sources packages hplip_3.14.1-1.debian.tar.xz from Debian, and hplip_3.14.3-0ubuntu3.debian.tar.gz from Ubuntu, and it seems that the patches are the same now, so maybe that problem has nothing to do with my bug. I can add log files or ppd files if needed...
