I can indeed reproduce that with note or envelope sizes; this is a known
issue with Gecko, which can only render to a small, fixed number of
paper sizes.

However I can't reproduce this with the US Letter paper size. I have
tried to print the same page in both A4 and US Letter formats; the
results are completely different, and none of them is truncated at the
edges.
