   Top margin: 0.5 mm !!
   Bottom margin: 7.0 mm

I presume this is what you want.  We may be able to get closer to the
bottom on some of the new printers, although apparently Epson says it
will lose quality (I think what happens is that if it knows the exact
page length it can hold the paper by the metal pizza wheel rollers
near the end and get very close to the bottom of the paper, but the
printer can't hold the alignment too well there).

   Left margin: 3.2 mm
   Right margin: 3.7 mm

   Robert, the rendering times have improved considerably also.
   Quality 0: 16.0 s (was 28.0 s)
   Quality 2: 66.7 s (was 102.6 s)
   Apart from inlining some routines, did you find any other speed
   improvements?

Some relatively minor stuff, but I guess it adds up.
