Printing with margins problem....

Hi guys,

Strange bug if someone could help. ...

Im using printDialog, printDocument and printPreviewDialog to write my print
routines for a graphics application. I want to allow the user to specify the
margins so Im setting (Im setting both as I dont know which one I should
set!) :-

margins = new Margins(left, right, top, bottom);
printDocument1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings .Margins = margins;
printDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins = margins;

On the *first* print it ignores the margins completely, but if I click
'print' again straight away it sets the margins properly... Obviously Im
missing something somewhere but cannot see what. Is there a "commit margins"
flag or something ?

My margin setting is in the "printDocument1_PrintPage" event handler

Thanks for any help

Todd.
