To answer my own question: it appears that if you expand the
imageable area in code and then validate it, it works. Something
like this:
Paper paper = pageFormat.getPaper();
paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, paper.getWidth(),
paper.getHeight()); //no margins
pageFormat.setPaper(paper);
pageFormat = printerJob.validatePage(pageFormat);

My app needs to print Java2D and it works OK, but I get complaints
about the large margins around the printed image. I've been doing
some investigation and it appears that java.awt.print.PageFormat
objects always have a one inch margin, despite being passed through
a PrinterJob pageDialog() method with a printer that can have much
smaller margins. I found some stuff at Sun about using
javax.print.PrintService and MediaPrintableArea, but I don't get a
MediaPrintableArea returned under Mac OS X (at least I don't with
1.4.2_07).
Anyone dealt with this stuff before and willing to share some insight?
Thanks, Nick
