Start by reproducing the print shift in Xreader 4.6.3 with the supplied A4 PDF, HP Officejet Pro 7740, and HPLIP-3.23.12, comparing the centered preview with the output and with Okular. No source file or test is named; done means centered A4 printing, including the reported front- and back-page behavior.
