When you go to print on manual fed paper, go into Printer/Options and
try setting a slightly larger page size than you are actually using.
This lets me print closer to the edges on my DeskJet. All printer
drivers allow for a margin as few printers can print right to the edge.
Has to do with the method used for paper handling. Ensemble's printer
drivers allow a bit more than most because they cater for more than one
model and, in some cases, more than one brand. If you go into the
printer folder and count the actual number of printer geodes there,
you'll see what I mean.

I did try to put together a database on as many inkjet printers as
possible, but the response was so little that I have abandoned the
project.
