The function set-printer-metrics
sets the left margin and top margin, and the printable width and printable height, of printer to left-margin, top-margin, width and height respectively. Values outside the bounds of the printer will be corrected and values that are nil
cause no change to the corresponding setting.
To set the margins as large as possible:
(let ((metrics (capi:get-printer-metrics printer))) (capi:set-printer-metrics printer :left-margin 0 :top-margin 0 :width (capi:printer-metrics-paper-width metrics) :height (capi:printer-metrics-paper-height metrics)))
Actually this sets the margins to the whole paper size, but the printer driver will move these in to take account of the minimum margins of the device.
