I understand you are trying to help and I thank you for that. I am trying to print a group that contains objects forming a chart and it is working well in 6.7.3 scaling to fit the centre of the paper. I looked for a simple solution that would centre & scale it automatically but if there is I could not find it so I have investigated the suggestion you made above. 1. I obtain the paper size printPaperRectangle. 2. decide the margins I require. 3. Work out the scale of the group to fit the printPaperRectangle - the margins required. 4. Apply the scale to obtain the final size of the group when printed. 5. From the final size of the group and the paper width/height work out the final margins. 6. Set those using printMargins. After all this the border of the group is not centred in the paper. Is there another setting I am missing? or something less involved?
