alignmargins - printer ignores settings

I have a Minolta PagePro 1100 here, running under CUPS with the pxlmono
ppd ..

when running alignmargins as described on the linuxprinting.org page, I
can get the margin to show up all around the page. When then clicking on
the "print test page" link on the cups-administration page
(localhost:631, that thing), I see a black margin around the test page.

Fine so far.

But when I try to print a normal text file as a user or as root, it is
still printed from edge of paper to edge of paper, i.e. parts of it are
not showing.

What do I have to do for the margins to also apply to text-files?
printed just with "lpr <nameoffile>"

I'm kinda confused here, haven't seen this behaviour mentioned anywhere.
