I did the work on the printer support for MacApp 3.3. I also, just finished an application (built in MacApp 3.3) where I turned on minimal margins with LaserWriter 8 (and LaserWriter GX). It did not compute the page rectange correctly either but, it did work correctly without minimal margins. I was afraid that it was something that I broke on 3.3 printing, but have not yet had time to thouroughly investigate it. I am glad (!?!) that it exists in 3.1 as well and will correct it if I do another (MacApp) project with Apple.
