The boundary problem you're seeing may be a hardware limitation, not a
software one.  I know all the apple laserwriters I've dealt with had
the quarter inch edge, and there was absolutely nothing you could do about
it in software.  The laserwriter uses that edge to pull the paper through
the printer.

If you've got a printer without this limitation (some Xerox OEM'ed printers
use the *top* edge instead), and the mac is still ignoring the edges,
then you've got a problem.  :)

I believe your printer hardware manual should have something in the
specifications which tells oyu the maximum imageable area of the printer
(i.e. how much of the page you can fill up).
