I'm working on a program that prints on pre-printed forms and I'm having
lots of trouble figuring out paper margins. It seems the GetDeviceCaps
API gives the wrong results for the PHYSICALOFFSETX / PHYSICALOFFSETY
parameters.
Is there a way to find the ACTUAL offset for a given printer in any
real-world coordinate system? Knowing my application will mostly be used
on HP printers, is there a way to find this using something like HP PCL
or similar? Anything other then printing something and measuring white
bands is acceptable!
Before we get too far afield, how about posting some code for how
you're making your position calculations?
I find it's real easy to get confused about the meaning of what
some of the different GetDeviceCaps() Indicies refer to; not to
mention adding everything up and keeping it all oriented correctly.
Sometimes another pair of eyes...
