The key information I need at present is the minimum margins of a page of a given size, i.e. parameters which describe the actual printable area on the page. I know this info is available in principle, but neither of my development tools provide it explicitly and I wonder whether AppleScript might help.

(Assuming you're running OSX)
Not saying that this a reply, did you run a:

-----------------------------
do shell script "defaults read com.apple.print.PrintCenter"
-----------------------------
?
