Plot gets scaled down due to margin! HELP

    Hello,

    I am facing very irritating problem with plotting.

    I have plotter HP 1050C (or something) at my office.

    I prepare complete drawing in Model Space and open various Windows of
    Model in Paper Space plus annotation, dimensioning and border.

    From Paper space I plot a drawing with window option (selecting
    extreme bounds of borders) and scale 1:1 since, windows are properly
    scaled down using zoom XP optoions.

    The problem surfaces with plotter. Plotted copy actually gets trimmed
    due to non printable area defined with plotter.

    If I select "Scale to Fit" then drawing is scaled down by small
    amount. i.e. drawing plotted to scale 1:250 is actually 1:255 or so.

    I tried with custom paper size, but plotter configuration is not
    permitting size in excess of 841mm, in-spite of the fact that A0 roll
    has width far more than that.

    It is my understanding that root of problem is non printable margins.

    How to address this trouble?

    TIA
