Yes they are the same - now I have changed it in the Firefox print set
up for CUPS
The paper in the printer is A4
The Ubuntu test page for the printer prints OK in A4
The page preview in Firefox when set to portrait appears to be correct
on the screen, it then tries to print landscape with the top of the page
missing.
When the obvious thing is done of setting the page to landscape, the
page then prints a landscape view on a portrait paper which results in
the right-hand side of the page as viewed not printing.( the print
preview of course looks like landscape correctly on a landscape page)
I am using the latest HP hplip-1.7.4a ( HP-Deskjet_5150-hpijis.ppd)
I upgraded as the previous ppd also gave the same or very similar
difficulties
