None printing area on Inkjet-/laser printers
How do I get the top,bottom,left and right margin where a laser/inkjet printer cannot print. As far as I know, can I only get physical forms length/width and the printing forms length/width. Do anybody know if there is any way to get the exact margins where the printer cannot print.
I shall use these exact mesaures, because im making a form with an OCR-B line which an optical reader shall read, and the tolerance is a very small. I don't how and where to get these informations?

The only way is to contact the manufacturer of the printer or reading the books that comes with the printer were this should be mentionned clearly.

Their must be another answer, I can read printer manual too, but I don't know which printer users of my program have, it vill be distibuted over the internet. I have made an solution today, where I make a box for the printing area, then the user can measure the none printing margins. If I have the top-,left margin or Bottom,right margin I can calculate the opposite. It may be the only way, but it isn't very elegant.

With that code, can you tell the X and Y offsets for any printer accurately for any printer? I tested the code, it worked fine for the Y offset, but the X offset was way off, how come?
