Default I Need Some Help With Margins

Are you sure about that? I've just tried the experiment with Notepad
and it thinks my Epson C44's margins for A4 are 0.00mm all the way round
except for the bottom one, which it thinks is 0.01mm. That's not what
the Epson manual says! As you'll see from my discussion with Graham
Mayor in the thread 'Border Settings for A4', I've also recently tried
this with both Word and Open Office's Writer, both of which give me
different defaults, neither of which are the ones given for my printer
by Epson's online documentation (and therefore, I assume, contained
somewhere in the printer driver). Writer's approximation to Epson's
settings is a lot closer than is Word's.
