The good news is that you can position elements to pixel accuracy 
(~72dpi), and by setting the printMargins property you can use the full 
printable area available to your printer.

The bad news is that you can't determine from within Rev what that 
printable area is.

There's a request filed for this:

In the meantime you can provide a custom dialog for your users to 
specify the printable area.
