Thanks for the report. This kind of issue I believe was previously due to
the printer firmware expecting a certain papersize or printable page area,
whereas CUPS and gutenprint calculated a slightly different one. So from a
few versions back, the expected sizes have been hardcoded as far as is
known.
I would like to check this for the i9950.
Can you give some specifics of the printjob? And perhaps send me a file
output to a fake printer using the same driver?
I will try to recreate the same output on my home machine (using i9950 as
output driver) and compare to previously captured Windows printjobs for
this printer.
Maybe that way it will be possible to see what the issue is.

Best regards,
