Aha!  Good call.  In landscape the cropping takes place on the left (short) 
edge, not the top of the page.

I sent a page with Chromium in landscape, it cropped the left hand short edge 
too.

PDF readers print with cropped top, in portrait.

I sent a txt file with 'lpr -o fit-to-page' in portrait and the same cropping 
on the top of the page happens.

So it is not application specific, but page orientation specific.

Could it be something has gone wrong with the rollers?  This is a brand new 
printer!

I'll try to print a page with MSWindows tomorrow, if only to prove if this is 
a cups problem or not.

Thanks for your suggestions!
