 Right, I've now built a fresh system, backed it up, and installed
5.0.0.99.1.

 Printing non-borderless from the gimp printed the page itself
without problems, but the printer then hung with its green LED
flashing and cups reported it was still printing.  In the end I had
to power-cycle the printer.

 Printing text does seem to work ok.  On the cups test print from
.99.1 the top line is at the top, the bottom 4mm are blank and I can
just see the tips of the bottom eighth markers, and the side lines
all show, but set about 3mm from the edge of the page.  This is with
the default 'Shrink Page If Necessary...: shrink' setting.
