Not that I do printers often, but (1) are you using a CUPS supplied drivers or HP's driver/PPD file, or your own PPD. For text output, you can write your own PPD. HP PPD information is fairly easy to find; IIRC, googling "ppd" & "HP" or the such brought up a lot of information. (2) your description could be a font translation problem: document to HP built-in fonts. It could also be a page definition error: the margins are different 1" on one and 1.25" on the other. The printable area value or the margins appear to be different. It appears that your current driver/ppd has an automatically linefeed after paragraphs. It could something else entirely. It could be a combination. It all this, be thankfully that you are dealing with an HP printer. Xerox has VERY little information on their printer (that we used) and it was a bear to get things right (the printers in question were 3 suites down and the Oracle Financials consultant didn't understand what information I needed--it was all trial error on my part). Personally, I almost always use the generic/laser printer/postscript for CUPS and have never had a problem. For HP printers, you can start with the original laserjet driver. If it works, you can go through the HP drivers/PPDs until it breaks. (Or until it starts working.)
