Print bordless page, margin cut off

Question

Hello ,
I have a problem on printing on bordless page type. Even though I set up thepage to have 0 margins (the printer allows me this - so I am not forcing it to 0), I have 2 possible situations:
- if I use the setPageable, before printing I will have the image considered to be at 0,0 , but the printer leaves a margins, so the image looks cut off
- if I use setPrintable(..) then the image is printed from a certain margin, the image is no longer cut off, but is not on 0,0 either.
Any sugestions?
Many thnx in advance!

Here is some code:
pageFormat - is an object taken from a page Format dialog, one of my own, the values passed from there are OK.
PrintRequestAttributeSet attributeSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
               MediaPrintableArea mediaPrintableArea;
               mediaPrintableArea = new MediaPrintableArea((float) (pageFormat
                         .getPaper().getImageableX() / 72), (float) (pageFormat
                         .getPaper().getImageableY() / 72), (float) (pageFormat
                         .getPaper().getImageableWidth() / 72), (float) (pageFormat
                         .getPaper().getImageableHeight() / 72), MediaSize.INCH);
               attributeSet.add(mediaPrintableArea);
               attributeSet.add(pagePrintFormat.getMediaName());
               if (pagePrintFormat.getPageFormat().getOrientation() == PageFormat.PORTRAIT) {
                    attributeSet.add(OrientationRequested.PORTRAIT);
               } else {
                    attributeSet.add(OrientationRequested.LANDSCAPE);
               if (this.printJob.printDialog(attributeSet))
                    try {...printing job...}
