Printer Puzzlement

My laptop runs Hardy,
I have a Brother HL-1440 laser printer with the CUPS drivers from
brother installed. The printer is normally attached to an XP box that
shares the printer. I have CUPS configured to see it as two printers,
local and network (Using the same drivers, same settings, just the
location is different)
If I unplug the usb cable and plug it directly to the laptop, it works
fine, prints perfectly. If I print to it as a network printer, the
print image is shifted down the page about an inch and runs off the
bottom.
Has anyone run into this? I assume that XP is doing something to the
print stream, but I would not know where to begin. I have tried a few
google searches, but all lead back to problems folks are having with
installing the brother drivers, or problems in the windows environment.
The windows sharing help is useless.
Thanks for any thoughts.
