Read http://xprint.mozdev.org/docs/Xprint_FAQ.html#printout_only_covers_1_4_of_the_paper
and http://xprint.freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=772

Check the output of xplsprinters for the default-printer-resolution
and adjust that in the server config. Common values are 300, 600 and
1200 dpi, less common values are 150, 360, 720 dpi.
