Is there a way to set margins size when setting custom page size. ? I am able to pass custom page size but not able set the margin to be used.

import cups

def print_to_printer(printer_name, file_path, custom_width=720, custom_length=432):
    conn = cups.Connection()

    # Get the printer information
    printer_info = conn.getPrinterAttributes(printer_name)

    # Convert inches to points (1 inch = 72 points)
    custom_width_points = str(int(custom_width * 72))
    custom_length_points = str(int(custom_length * 72))

    # Create the page size string
    page_size_str = f"{custom_width_points}x{custom_length_points}"

    # Start the print job with custom page size
    print_options = {'PageSize': page_size_str}
    print_job_id = conn.printFile(printer_name, file_path, "Print Job", print_options)

    print(f"Print job {print_job_id} sent to {printer_name} with custom page size ({custom_width}x{custom_length} inches)")

# Example usage
printer_name = "TVS_MSP-250CH-TVS-original"  # Replace with your actual printer name
file_to_print = "/home/tk/Documents/bill.txt"  # Replace with the path to your file
custom_width = 10  # Replace with your desired width in inches
custom_length = 6  # Replace with your desired length in inches
print_to_printer(printer_name, file_to_print, custom_width, custom_length)
