For another test, use pdf2ps and feed the PS output directly to the
printer, bypassing CUPS. If the LJ4050N Ethernet is connected (and it
really should be), you can use nc something like this (untested):
# pdf2ps test.pdf - | nc lj4050hostname 9100
If that has cut off margins, it's a setting within the printer.
If it prints fine, it's CUPS.
That test worked out beautifully. Apparently, it is a problem with CUPS
settings.
It didn't work at all for my OfficeJet. Apparently that printer doesn't
know PostScript, because all I got was a bunch of garbage with some
PostScript commands mixed in.
Very few inkjets understand PS. But ghostscript may have a built-in
driver for it which can be used like the ps2pcl filter in my lpd
article. Maybe you'll find some of the rest of it useful:

There are also the hplip and hpijs ports.
