Kyocera printer offset/margins completely wrong

Hey there! I'm new to printing under Linux.

I finally got CUPS to work, installed foomatic, etc. and found appropriate drivers (.ppd) for my Kyocera FS-1020D from a WinXP driver package. Everything seems to work correctly, the printer is detected under CUPS, I can see its settings too. However, when I print a document, it will overflow on the page. (as if it started printing at the bottom of the paper)

I really can't see what I should do, I feel I'm missing something completely obvious. Do I have to somewhat calibrate or set the printer?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Kyocera printer offset/margins completely wrong

I tried the printer on a Windows XP box. It had the same problem, therefore it comes from the printer itself. So can anyone help me out with this issue (not CUPS/Linux-related anymore) before I ditch that printer?
