Left & Right Margin Setting - System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs

I'm a newby and I'm writing my first VB.NET print program!

I need to change the default left and right margins for my printed output

"e" is my "System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs

By Default: e.PageSettings.Margins.Left = 100 and
e.PageSettings.Margins.Right=750

I have written code to set the values however
e.PageSettings.MarginBounds.Left = 20 and is ignored, when I read from it I
get the original values.

The interesting thing is that if I use the values in my write operation:
e.drawings.graphics.drawstring it works!

So there might not be a problem - however I want to be sure since this
program will be used with many different windows drivers.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

Fred

Even if you assign the value and read it directly after assigning it?

What does 'DrawString' have to do with margins?
