HP printers need a little extra space at the top to grab the page. The DeskJets I've used required .25" (sorry, I don't know the metric conversion). Maybe the filter doesn't allow the proper amount of space?
Another thing to consider is what you're trying to print. Is it text or postscript? "Printing" does not really send anything to your printer. "Printing" sends data to a filter that translates it for the printer.
When you "print" from Netscape or StarOffice, they send Postscript data to the printer filter. The filter takes this common format and translates it into commands for your specific printer. The filter is usually 'ghostscript'.
Text, however, can be dumped right to the printer with no formatting. Sometimes, the 'ghostscript' filter is configured to recognize the top margin. But the raw dump of text isn't.
All of that to say... Knowing which type is being printed, postscript or text, might help in locating the problem.
