Hi,
On Windows the printer margin is controlled by the printer driver. This is called the printer or hardware margin. To this, you add the margin defined inside the report definition. The sum total is the margin that you will see on the report's printed output. For example, if the default printer margin is 2 cm, and you have defined 3 cm inside the report defintion, you should see a total 5 cm margin on the printed output. This should be consistent across prints. So you can reduce / increase the report definition margin, to get the exact output that you want in the printed output.
However, if you find that even by making the report definition margin zero you cannot get the margin that you want, then you can upgrade to version 6i patchset 15. From this patch onwards, the printer default margin is ignored, and only the report definition margin is counted.
Also, you can find useful notes if you serach for "margin" on Metalink.
