Of course not. But the idea of just-once-per-printer is
wishful thinking, let me tell you that. And WHEN you need it
you want it darn easy because you are in a hurry.

Sure, that'd work, too. Let the user specify mm's "to the
left" etc. which is an easy enough concept I would assume.

:-)

Are you sure you know what the law says ? (Not that I think the
law's always making sense.)

For all practical aspects de-alignment of, say, 2mm in either
direction is acceptable in most situations, I guess.
