Printing a PDF from filePro

We need to be able to print a .PDF file under filePro process control.  On SuSE Enterprise 8.0, we can use:

 'lp -dprintername filename.PDF'    to print the file to an HP LaserJet 1200 series printer.  

However, the printout is shifted down about 1/2" which causes the bottom 3/8" of the image to be cut off.  We can do:

 'pdf2ps filename.PDF filename.ps'    to convert the .PDF to postscript first and then:

 'lp -dprintername filename.ps'  and it prints perfectly.

Has anybody solved this problem?
