Thanks for pointing that out. I set the hardware margins to "0 0 612 792"
within my ppd file. Before printing, this appeared as if it would work. Under
the printer "Properties" in the print dialog, all of the margins had been set
to 0 (automatically) and the bounding box in the small preview next to it
exactly matched the page size, but when printing, the margins were still off as
before. Setting the margins to 0 explictly within the print dialog (with a
normal ppd) still results in the correct size being printing, so I'm not sure
what's different between the two.

I'm done fooling around with this for now (wasted too much ink/paper). The best
option would be to have a way to disable the "fit-to-page" option sent to CUPS.
Since that doesn't seem possible currently, I'll just print using lp from the
command line.

Also moved this under kdelibs/print-dialog, since it's a better fit there. This
isn't an issue specific to Okular.
