Steve,
You will need to use PInvoke on GetDeviceCaps to find the exact margins.
In version 1.1 you can set a property in PageSettings to start the origin at
the margins vs. the physical boundary but that doesn't tell you the size of
the physical printable area. Just get your hDC from the graphics and call
GetDeviceCaps to check sizes. If you would like some C# code for this let
me know.
