With VB5/6 and its Printer object (or using API printer calls) the
non-printable margins have meaning.

Using Excel/VBA I don't see why you would need to, as Excel adjusts the
HPageBreaks/VPageBreaks/PrintArea according to the papersize, the set
printers capabilities and other settings.
Whilst you can of course handle this yourself, you are probably going to
inaccurate/wrong.
Why do you need this info ?

You can get a lot of printer(s) info from he
