NSPageLayout doesn't alter NSPrintInfo margins

Hi,

I'm writing an application that needs to read the margin settings of 
the paper size the user chose in the Page Setup dialog.

I pass a NSPrintInfo object to NSPageLayout's 
beginSheetWithPrintInfo:modalForWindow:delegate:didEndSelector:contextIn
fo and the NSPrintInfo object comes back to me with all the settings 
correctly set to the user's choices, except for the margins. The 
margins are unchanged from whatever they were before invoking the Page 
Setup dialog.

Unfortunately, their appears to be no API for accessing the margin 
sizes in NSPrinter.

This seems to be a problem for other cocoa apps as well. In the 
TextEdit sample code, I noticed that it also does not print to the 
margins accurately. It's most noticeable on small paper sizes. (Note: 
to make the TextEdit app print without scaling down on smaller paper 
sizes, I changed the following line in the Document.m printInfo method:
Before: [printInfo setHorizontalPagination:NSFitPagination];
After: [printInfo setHorizontalPagination:NSAutoPagination];

Does anyone know of a way to read the margins of the user's selected 
paper size from Cocoa?

Thanks,
Jeremy
