Run xvidtune from an xterm. 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. I just use lpd with a
very simple filter.

I have to buy a Windows license to use AutoCAD LT, much to my
annoyance.

Welcome to FreeBSD, btw!
