Page Margin Control

[Rustle]

There should be a way to override the printers default margin sizes to create your own office standards. This could be a Margins tab in the Page Setup dialog or a way to create your own sheet size standards so they can be changed globally.

This is useful in creating standard title bar/drawing boarder locations across platforms and offices with different printers. The MAC version of the HP DesignJet 110plus NR driver allows for margin override but the PC version does not. Adobe PDF does not allow you to set margin sizes so switching between PDF production and final plotting can be problematic.

OSX uses CUPS which does not require specific printer drivers only the PPD

which defines the printer functions and limitations ( which can be by passed if needed ). Since just every every printer ever made has an existing PPD , CUPS makes printing fairly easy as noted in the post.

Does Vista use CUPS or still require those proprietary print drivers ?
