Print Margins

I use the PageSetUpDialog to set the margins on my HP Laser Jet 4 printer. I
set both margins to 1 with a paper size of 8.5 x 11 (Letter). When printing,
print starts as it should on the left margin but the right margin is 1/2 inch
off, i.e., 1/2 inch from the right side of the paper instead of 1 inch). Has
anyone else had this problem and if so, is there a reason it does this?

In code, the graphics in the PrintPage event has the correct marginbound
setting of 1 inch and the graphic size is correct as well.

I am curious what the code below returns for your printer:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Invalid OperationExcept ion' occurred
in system.drawing. dll

Additional information: The object is currently in use elsewhere.

on the line in "GetPhysicalMar gins" on the line:
With m
.Left = CInt(ox * 100 / Graphics.DpiX) 'ERROR on thie LINE

Any idea what is wrong?

Hi all, I'm trying to generate labels to print in several different formats, all of them with their own height,width and page margins. We've got this done in MS Access 2000, using a designed report that fits with each label type, and reads a table dinamically generated. But the problem is page margins. Does Access store page margins and information of that kind within de report? Is there any kind of association between printer...

I am trying to print some 2x6 labels on a SATO CL408e thermal label printer. The 2x6 labels are arranged in "landscape" mode with 2 labels per "sheet." When I attempt to print "x" copies of a 1 page label document, I get "x" formfeeds and "x" wasted labels. Is there any way to manipulate the .NET printing engine to do a over-under 2-up landscape printing? I'm thinking no, but maybe there's a way. The printer has the ability to sense the...

I'm having difficulty printing on a 4"x3" labels . I set the left margin to 0 but it always prints starting from the middle of the label on the X-axis (no matter what the margin settings are.)

I am currently working on a C# project that uses the Janus schedule controls, and am having trouble getting it to print correctly in Day view.

Hi, I am working on a VB.NET application that uses the Print Preview. When I call up the print preview and print from my laser printer the whole page comes out no problem. When I do the same using my DeskJet 940c it only prints the top left quarter of the document. Has anyone seen this and know what I am missing, is there some command you send to the printer to say, do the whole page not just the top left quarter?? It's got me...

There's probably something easy I'm missing here. When I run a print operation in my program (Microsoft VB.Net Form) I have some code that sets the print margins so that it leaves a nice gap, however, these gaps do not work. No matter what I set the margins to, the printer (HP Color Laserjet) always prints the same (top left corner with about a 5mm gap). Please Help.

I'm trying to print some text in a very specific position on a page, so that it will show through the window of an envelope when folded. This is easy to do, as long as the browser's print margins are set to 0, or I subtract the width of the margins from the position of the text. My question is: is there a technique for detecting browser print margins? It'd be nice not to have to warn users to set them to something specific.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
