Any chance the document starts of with a formfeed character?
If not, what is your setup? 

What type of document are you attempting to print (text, postcript)?
What type of printer are you printing to?
Is it a local printer?
Is it a remote printer?
Are you using any filters?
Are you using apsfilter?
What is your /etc/printcap entry?
Are you using LPR?
Are you using LPRng?
