Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-2844:
-----------------------------------------

Update: he has written in the mailing list "I have finally made it to work. The 
following code prints with normal margins:"
{code}
            PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
            Paper paper=new Paper();
            paper.setSize(72d*8.267d, 72d*11.692d);
            paper.setImageableArea(0,0,72d*8.267d, 72d*11.692d);
            
            PrintRequestAttributeSet attr_set = new 
HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
            attr_set.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
            attr_set.add(Sides.ONE_SIDED);
            
            PDFPrinter pDFPrinter=new PDFPrinter(document,Scaling.SCALE_TO_FIT, 
Orientation.PORTRAIT,paper);
            pDFPrinter.silentPrint(attr_set);
{code}
Nevertheless, I wonder why it works differently in PDFReader.

> Printing the attached file from PDFReader brings larger margins than 
> expected, and larger than with Adobe Reader. Doing the same with 1.8 has the 
> expected margins (but bad fonts).
> From Александр Свиридов / Alex Sviridov in the mailing list:
> {quote}
> I printed this pdf file with Adobe Reader in mode 100%. And as expected left 
> and right margins are about 2cm. In comparison when I print using pdfbox left 
> margin is 4.5cm, right about 3.5cm.
> The code I use :
> {code}
> PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
> Paper paper=new Paper();
> paper.setSize(72d*8.267d, 72d*11.692);
> PDFPrinter pDFPrinter=new PDFPrinter(document,Scaling.SCALE_TO_FIT, 
> Orientation.PORTRAIT,paper);
> pDFPrinter.silentPrint(job);
> {code}
