Margin on PrintForm

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I am printing the form that is displayed using the PrintForm method. Prints
the form OK located to the top left of the paper. Now I want to center the
form on the printout. The help file says to use the following statements to
do this, but it does not have any effect on the location of the form on the
paper when printed - it still prints at the top left of the paper.

Printer.ScaleLeft = -((Printer.Width - frmCalculate.Width) / 2)
Printer.ScaleTop = -((Printer.Height - frmCalculate.Height) / 2)
PrintForm
Printer.EndDoc

The Scale Left positions calculates to 2137.5 and the ScaleTop calculates to
2355

What am I missing?
