This helps you to get the minimun margins of the printer, at least thats what Ive understood...

PageFormat format1 = new PageFormat();
Paper paper1 = new Paper();
paper1.setImageableArea(0,0,paper1.getWidth(),paper1.getHeight());
format1.setPaper(paper1);
PageFormat format = printerJob.validatePage(format1);

My problem now is that I cant set that margins to the printerjob, it always print inside the default margins...
If someone knows how to do it please write me...
