Can't get Landscape printing aligned correctly...

Question

I'm new to Java and this forum, so any help with the following would be greatly appreciated:
Description: Incorrect height alignment when printing Landscape.
Hardware: Power Macintosh 8500/120, 48MB RAM.
Brother HL-1650 Laser Printer, 8MB RAM.
Software: Mac OS 8.6.
MRJ2.2 (JDK1.1.8), MRJSDK2.2, JFC/Swing1.1.1.
Procedure: 1) Compile BorderDemo.java (see source code below) with javac.
2) Run BorderDemo with JBindery.
3) Select "Landscape" printing, then select "Print".
Results: Incorrect alignment of GridLayout within BorderLayout's Center position.
The first printed row is incorrect. It is split with 6/8ths in row1, and 2/8ths
in the last row.
Expected: The BorderLayout's Center position should print 6 rows and 7 columns of
8 x 1 TextEdit field items (This is supposed to be a calendar). It should fill
the 8.5 x 11 piece of paper in Landscape print mode.
Note: It correctly displays on the computer monitor.
I've tried lots of combinations of GridLayout, BorderLayout, and BoxLayout, but
I can't get it to print correctly in Landscape. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Compile and run the following code:
