Cups test pages sent via the Epson supplied NX-0515 driver are also correctly scaled, for an A4 page, with about a 3mm border on the left, a good 10 or 11mm on the right, and with an estimated 20mm clipped off the bottom. And its also quite fast, but at 360x360 it should dance a regular jig anyway. Epson paid driver authors trying to do GPL code just don't grok it at all. Sigh...
