Printer Margins... Software or Hardware??

edited June 2003 in General
I have set the printer margins to 0 in the PrinterSetup still when I print
the printer does leave about 0.25 inches on each side. I have tried this
functionality on many printers with the same result.

I have seen some outputs from another software product that actually prints
almost all the way (about 0.1 inches) from the edge in certain printers
(lexmark)

The question is: is this behavior (not being able to print closer to the
edges) really a limitation of the printers or just the printer drivers?

Is there a way to force printing as close to the edge as possible on the
printers that do support printing to the edge w/ ReportBuilder?

Thanks,

Isi R.

    Isi,

    Most printers have a printable area defined by how far the rollers can span
    from side to side. This area usually does not extend all the way to the
    edge of a page. There is no way to control this as this is a hardware
    specification.
