I had some problem with this too.  Turns out that most programs re-set
margins on the HP Laserjet to program settings.  Some programs (especially
true pass-through type jobs) just take the default settings on the printer.
Most programs that I have ever seen use 66 lines per page as default, but 
every HP Laserjet I have used comes with 60 lines per page as default.  You
can re-set your laserjet by pressing "On-Line" to take it off line, and using
"Menu" and "+", "-", and "Enter" to re-set the printer defaults.  This should
work for this problem.
