Digital BW, The Print

These margin values are described by the PPD file. I believe that Roy has said
that the Pro series of printers did not have the "Minimize Margins" capability.
Guess he was wrong. 

Anyway, you could modify the PPD file. The ParamCustomPageSize lines are what
needs changing. There are two numbers after the word "Points" which are the
minimum and maximum size values. The units of these are "Points" which are 1/72
of an inch.
