[Bug] b15 pv3: Page margins not correct for printing

Following you find steps to reproduce a printing problem. 

When printing on Microsoft Windows (with metric measurement settings in Europe) 
the first page of the sample document has two more lines then the "page view". 
So "what you see is not what you get"...

It might be a problem of the default margins of the printersetup that is called 
before printing.

Additionally it is a little bit confusing that the default (Operationg System) 
page setup dialog that shows up before printing does not show the correct page 
margins. Example: When you change the left page margin at "Format - Adjust 
Margins" to a value of Left = 2 inches then the page setup dialog still shows 1 
inch. Another small issue might be that in Europe (metric) shows 25 mm for 1 
inch which should be 25,4 mm. 

It might be a good idea to use "declares" for Microsoft Windows to set the 
values for the page setup dialog. Aaron Ballman should have it all in his 
"Windows Functionality Suite".

Here are the steps to reprocude the printing problem:

1. Start FTC
2. Call Print Dialog
3. (Press OK to accept the settings of the print setup dialog)
4. Select just to print page 0
5. Compare the last two lines of the printed page with the screen output in the 
default "page view" mode.
6. Bug: The first page has two more lines as the page view mode on screen.
