I have one question. If RB simply can not know the printer dimensions,

when you say .5 inch margins, the printer ads it own internal .25"
margin. If so,
then why is it, that every professional application I know of, allows
you to
specify exact margins? Not only Word 200X, but even my old Wordperfect
3.54
that has not been updated in 8 years and can only be used in Classic
Mode can
allow perfecttly aligned margins. Do the big boys get access to the
driver code
somehow or the OS in some way that we can not?
Nope. Check out the examples in the PrinterSetup Class. Most of the
normal data is explained there. Try the last example. It should show
the built-in margins returned by the printer itself. This includes user
settings if you allow them. There's a lot of stuff in there that, if
handled correctly, will let you determine what offsets you require to
put the margins exactly where you want them.
The only problem, I think, is determining the orientation.
HTH,
