I am not convinced there is a bug at all (LC or Apple). My workflow: 1. Open PageSetup 2. Note in the PageSetup Format For: - On first run this says “Any Printer” 3. I press OK to continue. 4. Continue with Answer Printer etc. 5. Printout is offset I think because printPaperRect picks up a set of default dimensions associated with “Any Printer” Close down LiveCode and open my project again. Using the same workflow except for 2. 1. Open PageSetup 2. Select my default printer from the popup menu. 3 & 4. As before 5. Printout is correct I think because printPaperRect has now picked up the dimensions associated with my printer selection. I have done a little Cocoa programming before and think this is the way Apple intends it to work.

Yes, that would solve the page setup all together. There is an image of the dialogue in the link above.
