My comment:

Picking a texture that is light, unobtrusive and improves the perception of a report is not an ordinary task.

Notice that the sample code does not call GdiplusStartup and GdiplusShutdown. Obviously the instance of ReportListener takes care of those calls.

To find the left and top unprintable margins for a particular printer, call GetDeviceCaps with the nIndex parameter set to PHYSICALOFFSET (X | Y) . To obtain the size of the printable area use HORZRES and VERTRES constants.
