Neil,

The "Centered" paper options are for printers that have un-centered 
printable
areas.  The Pro printers all enforce a .55 inch bottom margin which 
makes the
printable area un-centered.   All the desktop printers such as the 2200 
allow
a .125 inch bottom margin that is the same as the top.   So for the 
2200 all
the paper selections are already Centered.

There is one caveat:   this small bottom margin needs an exit roller in 
the printer
and the switch from entry roller to exit roller can give a reduction in 
quality.  So
I prefer to always give generous margins -- but the print centering is 
nice.
