printer-physical-size

Arguments: printer-stream

Returns a position that indicates the physical size of the paper on which a printer stream is drawing. The x coordinate of the position is the width of the paper, and the y coordinate is the height. The values are measured in the device's native pixel size (which could be found by calling stream-units-per-inch if you do not change that value beforehand).

To calculate the coordinates for drawing on a printer stream, it is better to use the left-margin, top-margin, right-margin, and bottom-margin properties of the stream. See printer-physical-offset for a more complete explanation.
