The /etc/printcap looks OK -

# APS1_BEGINrinter1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL
dj930|ijs/DESKJET_930;r=300x300;q=medium;c=full;p=a4;m=auto: \
:lp=/dev/lp1:\
:if=/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/dj930:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/dj930/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/dj930/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
# APS1_END - don't delete this


and /etc/apsfilter/dj930/apsfilterrc has the entry PAPERSIZE='a4'

I tried changing the paper size to 'letter' but that didn't seem to make
any difference so the 17.5mm difference might be a red-herring.
