Basic question here is what size paper are you using?  8 1/2 by 11.  Then
you cannot use all of the paper if only 8 inches of imageable area.

You must set margins to account for the extra 1/2 inch that is not imageable.
To do so on an Apple Laserwriter you need at least .5 in normally but with
the Larger Print Area option you need only .25" all around.  This will
allow you to use 8 inches of imageable area.
