Use the controls on xvidtune to get your picture appropriately centered and then hit the show button. This will give you a modeline which you can cut and paste into your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Put it in the "Monitor" section. Then restart X and your picture should then be centered. BTW, if your printer supports postscript, you'll find it easy to setup. A lot of unix programs output postscript.
