To correctly print to paper, I had to offset the
MarginBounds by (-16, -16). Has anyone else had this
problem, or found a more elegant solution?
I'm printing to 8.5 x 11 inch paper and I get the same
results using sample programs.
 
Michael,
You are seeing the effects of the 'hard margins' on your printer. If
you are using Framework 1.1 you can work around this by setting the
OriginAtMargins property of the PrintDocument to true which then sets 0,0 at
your top,left margin. For Framework 1.0 you will need to PInvoke
GetDeviceCaps to get the printer margins and then translate your graphics
object appropriately at the start of each page. I have a class written in
C# that encapsulates GetDeviceCaps that you may copy if you like (just let
me know).
