The exact command Emacs should give to print the file is:-
pr -F filename | lpr
Check what this does at the shell and check what lpr-buffer does in
Emacs. If it doesn't produce the right result its still probably a
print setup problem. You may have set the paper size to letter in
your print setup where it should be A4.
