I'm running Fedora 15 on x86_64, up to date, with JNovy's TeXlive (but that
one doesn't seem to be at fault).
Printing PDFs created by pdflatex (even oldish ones) on a HP LaserJet
m1522nf MFP over the 'net gives me pages that start on flush top, any top
margin setting via the geometry package has no visible efect. A very old
PDF generated by OOo 1.1.0 in 2004 shows a similar lack of top margin when
printed (an inch or so loped off the top). evince or xpdf show the PDF
files with normal top margins.
A CUPS test page prints its black frame almost perfectly centered on the
paper.
cups-1.4.8-2.fc15.x86_64
ghostscript-9.04-3.fc15.x86_64
hplip-3.11.7-2.fc15.x86_64
I'm at a loss on how to debug this further.

Except for the fact that your CUPS test page seems to print correctly,
that sounds like a similar problem to what I had been having with my HP
LaserJet P2055dn. Check out this bug to see if it sounds like what you
are experiencing:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738089
For me, downgrading to the following RPM's fixed my problem:
hpijs-3.11.5-4.fc14.x86_64
hplip-libs-3.11.5-4.fc14.x86_64
hplip-3.11.5-4.fc14.x86_64
hplip-common-3.11.5-4.fc14.x86_64
hplip-gui-3.11.5-4.fc14.x86_64
libsane-hpaio-3.11.5-4.fc14.x86_64
I hope that this bug has something to do with your issue.

Oh wow, and I thought my old printer started to load paper incorrectly.
I see the same symptom with HP LaserJet 6L. Printer is net shared from
F15. Documents are printed from F16 (PDFs from Evince) and Ubuntu 11.04
(documents from LibreOffice). Top margin is missing.

Not only top margin, but whatever whitespace you put in the document
at the beginning.
I tried adding new lines in a writer document at the beginning and the
printer ignores them too.
I saw it in a F15 i686 with an HP LaserJet 1150 using hplip.
Then I took the printer to an F14 i686 and I've got the same results.
It is strange that from the F14 printing through the network to an F13
with HP LaserJet M1120 using hplip prints well the same document.
I'll comment in the bug.

Came home and printed the same file that came out wron on my Epson Stylus
CX7700, connected via USB. There it printed fine.
Somebody asked if I printed via evince or lpr. Using xpdf the files look
fine, but print out wrong. Printing via lpr also gets them wrong.
