This error has nothing to do with what you print. It is an error from
Gutenprint and it is caused by a limitation that I just found out
yesterday. If you have graphical elements outside the printable area,
then GPDriver2/Gutenprint clips the output at the top and left (in
contrast to GPDriver/Gimp-Print, which moved the complete page to the
right and downwards, which was not a very popular feature). GPDriver2
does not clip at the right and bottom because I assumed that the
Gutenprint library would do that, but this indicates that I was too
optimistic - GPDriver2 will have to do the clipping itself.

Yes, that is the problem. For the time being (until GPDriver2's
clipping is improved) you need to set an appropriate right and bottom
margin in your paper size. From the above values: You need a bottom
margin of 26+791-801 = 16. This is in pt (1/72 inch), so this
corresponds to roughly 5.7mm.
