KeithF: Well, I think it would be correct to say that there IS an unprintable region for all printers, but that it differs from printer to printer and MAY be 0" in any particular dimension (particularly top & bottom). The book "Printer Information for MS Word" lists the unprintable regions for LOTS of printers. A sampling: TOP BOTTOM LEFT RIGHT ALPS LPX600 = 0.33 0.25 0.15 0.41 Apple Imagewriter II = 0.00 0.00 0.25 0.25 Apple LasterWriter = 0.22 0.33 0.25 0.25 Canon BJ-130 Bubble Jet = 0.67 0.25 0.50 0.25 Canon BJ-130e Bubble Jet = 0.66 0.50 0.25 0.25 Epson FX Series = 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.50 HP LaserJet Series II = 0.20 0.20 0.17 0.33 HP LaserJet IIP = 0.17 0.17 0.25 0.25 HP LaserJet Series III = 0.20 0.20 0.25 0.25 I think that this stuff is stored in the printer driver itself, and is exported to your application. There aren't specific entries in the DEVMODE data structure for margins, so I think's it's burried in the dmDriverData field and may be handled differently for different devices. I think you'll need the DDK to get any further. There are 2 Replies.
