Yes, the docs are poorly worded if this is the case.

I experimented to come to the conclusion the docs are poorly worded and this, from visual inspection, seems to work

put  the printPaperRectangle into tPaperRect
put item 1 of tPaperRect into tPaperLeft
put item 2 of tPaperRect into tPaperTop
put item 3 of tPaperRect into tPaperWidth
put item 4 of tPaperRect into tPaperHeight

put tPaperLeft/2 into tOffsetH
put tPaperTop/2 into tOffsetV

set the printMargins to tMargin + tOffsetH, tMargin + tOffsetV, tMargin - tOffsetH, tMargin - tOffsetV


All the best
