I have another question related to this.

Let's say I have a big drawing and that I want to print different parts of it in different papers. When I've had to do this in Inscape I've moved the whole drawing to fit each part I want to print into the paper canvas. Is there a better way to do this?

What about if I'm designing web pages in inkscape and I'm using an
canvas of 800x600 and I want to print.  Is there a way to set the margin
on printing, or make it center my 800x600 image on an A4 piece of paper?

Or do I have to convert all my designs to A4 and Center them manually?
