Publisher changes my margins when I don't want it to.

I'm trying to stop publisher 2007 from changing my margins whenever I change
printers. I have multiple printers and whenever I change printers or even
paper trays, the margins that are set up change to some default that I cannot
find. I'm not trying to change the margin defaults, just wanting to save
what I have set up, say for printing 10 bus. cards on a single sheet. I know
how to set up templates and that saves the margins when I make a new
document, but not if I need to change printers.

=====================================
This could be a Printer Driver issue and it could be
because the maximum print area is not the same on
all your printers

Maybe the following article will be useful:

I have at least 5 printer drivers that I can setup business cards to without the
margins changing if I setup the business card manually.
I will admit if I use one of the built in templates the margins do change. This
is simply another printing anomaly in Publisher 2007.
