Non-printable area and PrintDocument

[Guest]

I'm using a print document object in a preview control and/or to send to a
printer. The printer seems to have a 'non-printable' area thats 1/8" from
the top/bottom and 1/4" left/right. Is there a way of detecting these?
They'll be specific to the printer I'd guess. Or am I missing something and
theres a way move/remove these? ( I'm new to the Graphics and PrintDocument
objects)

The Page Setting margins, if set, are from this 'hardware' margin. If Top
margin is = 100 (at 100/inch) then my margin on paper is 1 1/8". The
preview control works great, no problem there at all. I've tried this on two
different printers and this area is a little different on each, but same
results.

thx
