I'm assuming that your using GhostScript to print to this printer. I experienced the same thing going to another non-PS printer with GhostScript as a rip. I worked around the problem by editing my ppd and creating a "new" papersize called letterwide. I'm haven't checked whether the newer GS's fix this problem (6.0 is just out.)
----part of PPD file---------
.
.
.
*PageRegion Letterwide: "
<< /PageSize [612 792]
/BeginPage {90 rotate 0 -612 translate}
>> setpagedevice"
.
.

Hope this helps.
