Margins print different in InDesign

[blindlemon]

Hello,
A document I created in pagemaker would print within 3/16" of the edge of the page. After importing the same document into InDesign and printing on the same printer, it's cropping 1/2" off all edges of the page. Where are settings where I can get back to 3/16". I know the printer will do this. Also my document seems to be off-centered 1/8" to the right when printed. It's centered on the screen and I pressed "centered" when printing.

Thanks
Blind Lemon

Documents converted from PageMaker will retain all layout settings within InDesign. The only thing that would be different is how the external printer driver settings are defined for the new application. Check the print setup settings/profiles from PageMaker and recreate those settings in InDesign. You should find these settings in the 'setup' button in the lower left of the print dialog.

Jimoblak,
Thanks for the quick response. I'm assuming your speaking in terms of PC. I should have mentioned I'm on a Mac..OSX. Being fairly new to OSX, do you have any idea where I would find a setup button that you mentioned in the Mac world.

Thanks again

Try the 'page setup' and 'printer...' buttons in the same area:

That did it. Also after doing some research with hp, It mentions that 10.3 doesn't remember the printer and that's why I have to do that.
Again...thanks so much for the help!!!!!
