Label Captions Truncated

I know you are going to suggest updating my printer drivers, however
this happens so often it would be nice to fix in RB...

I create TppLabels in code, setting Alignment=taCenter,AutoSize=True.

When they print, the right hand edge is truncated slightly, probably
by 1 or 2 mm.

Any suggestions?

    When the report generates, it uses the canvas of the printer to get the text
    width. If autosize is true, then it should give it the exact width that it
    needs to print that text, for the designated font. Is it just on one
    printer? Try using the HP LaserJet 4 driver (this driver usually gives
    pretty good results) to at least see if the driver is really the cause.

    Yes, changing the printer drivers fixes the problem, my point is that
    it happens all the time, on many different printers - obviously a
    common flaw with many printer manufacturers.
    What I was hoping is that when a field is set to autosize, it does the
    equivalent of a TextOut (no clipping).
