Setting a printed area to center on the paper

[chunkII123]

Alright, this seems to be an easy one for a programmer with more skill than I. Here is what I have -

public void print() {
        PrintUtilities printUtil = new PrintUtilities(this.getContentPane());

        PageFormat myPageFormat = new PageFormat();
        myPageFormat.setOrientation(PageFormat.PORTRAIT);

        Paper paperType = new Paper();
        paperType.setImageableArea(600.0, 750.0, 625.0, 792.0);

        myPageFormat.setPaper(paperType);

        printUtil.setPageFormat(myPageFormat);
        printUtil.setPageSize(.95, .95);
        printUtil.setPrintJobName("Problem Members");

        this.setVisible(false);
        
         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Problem Members Printed.", "Problem Members", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);


        // this try block does not execute
        // print comes from the printutil method of the matchedmembers form

    }

The block that it prints is 400 pixels wide, but it prints roughly (.250", .250" (x, y respectively)) on the page. I would like to center it on the x axis, and it looks as though my printable area is (640, 797), so essentially I need to set the location of the print page to (120px, (pixel resolution of a quarter inch)).

Thanks ahead of time.
