See PageFormat.setPaper(), Paper.setImageableArea() and Paper.setSize().
That lets me handle setting margins a bit more elegantly, and tells me
where the 1" margins came from, but it does not let me query now
narrow the margins of any given printer can be.
Another related question. When you print landscape, are you supposed
to just pretend you are printing on an 11 x 8.5 paper, or are you
supposed two print on an 8.5 x 11 paper and rotate the image yourself?
I think you should set the PageFormat to landscape. Please see the
following code that I wrote to print images.
