That's interesting. At a quick glance, attachment 128311 looks like the missing
content might pretty much match the page margins, i.e. the non-printable area
of the printer ("6.35mm on the left and right, 12.7mm on the top and the
bottom".
However, if "fit to printable area" is selected, the content should
automatically scaled down by CUPS, since it is passed the "fit-to-page" option,
which can also be seen in your error_log:

Mai 09 14:52:14 localhost.localdomain cupsd[126424]: argv[5]="Collate
finishings=3 fit-to-page job-billing media=A4 number-up=1 number-up-layout=lrtb
outputorder=normal page-bottom=36 page-left=18 page-right=18 page-top=36

time-at-processing=1589028734 document-name-supplied=okular_PwkqEO.ps
PageSize=A4"

What happens if you print the original PDF file and the generated PostScript
file using 'lp' from command line, i.e. passing it directly to CUPS rather than
using Okular?

i.e.

    lp -d HL-2030-series -o fit-to-page -o PageSize=A4 <YOUR_PDF_FILE>

and

    lp -d HL-2030-series -o fit-to-page -o PageSize=A4 d00129-001.ps
