Hi, a quick question: The SDK refs are a little unclear about this.
What is the "best" way to find out what the printable region of the
printer is? Do I have to figure this out myself or is there an easier
way?

I am printing on a PostScript printer, and I noticed that coordinates
(0,0) are the literal top left of the page. So is there an easy way to
figure out where I can print?

Thanks a zillion in advance,
