Hi, I've put up an artboard with exactly DIN-A4 size: 297 mm and 210 mm, but in the print dialogue screen AI shows me this odd numbers "Media: 209,97 mm 297,01 mm". Why is that and how to solve it?

Found, that this odd numbers appear only if I have the option "Adobe PostScript(c) File" checked under "Printer: ..." in the print dialogue window of Adobe Illustrator. If I choose another option, then the media is given correctly as 210mm * 297mm.
