Most likely you have specified margins that the 4600 supports, but which the
1300 does not. When you specify a margin closer to the edge of the page than
the printer allows then that margin will automatically revert to the minimum
margin supported by the printer driver.

Most printers these days will support 1/2 inch margins all the way around, but
some older ink-jets won't go that low on the bottom margin. I usually stick
with 7/10 of an inch for that edge to be on the safe side.

If you need to support lots of different printers then you will have to be
somewhat conservative with your margin settings.
 
thanks for ur reply..most of them use HP laser printers....

You will find VERY FEW printers that will support those margins (at least that
bottom setting for sure). Why can't you change them? If you are trying to
mimic an existing paper document then you have to consign yourself to the fact
that exact matching is not always a realistic goal.

Exactly why do you need to go that close to the edge of the page?
 
because i have to print some data...in the printed paper...and it has
box in the paper..exactly i have to print in that box.
and the printed paper..coming from other source..not from
our side.

Then your choices seem to be
--Require printers that will handle the margins you have specified if they
want to use your application
--design the report to mimic the preprinted form and get authorization to
have the larger margins.
--get the form redesigned

Ismail, what both Rick and John are saying is that it is impossible to
override the printer's physical hardware limitations with software. So if
the printer will not physically support the margins you need, then you have
only two choices:

1. find a printer that will support those margins (I have
seen advertisements for photo-printers that will print
to the edge, with no margins)

2. get the margin requirement changed, however you
have to do it.
