So annoying as my Canon printer has different top and bottom margins (presumably to allow the paper grab feed?) Yes I can enter these manually but just another reason for me to continue using Photo 2 on windows 11.

I knew you were a Windows user, Vicki! I would expect the option to be present on both Win 11 and Win 10, and this seems like a curious omission.

Obviously we can retrieve the printer margins by other means (including the Affinity version 1 and 2 apps) but we shouldn’t have to do that.

Thank you Alfred, I should of said I am using win11. I wont carry on looking for it then. Have now created a couple of A4 pre-sets with margins. Retrieved from pageplusX9 Cheers Vicki.

Information from elsewhere indicates that Windows has the ability to retrieve the printer margins from the printer but macOS does not. I can confirm that the option is (unexpectedly) not available to me in Affinity Studio on Windows 10 Pro.
