# Zero margins with memoir

I am trying to set up custom page size with zero margins. Here is the example

\documentclass[oneside,final,12pt]{memoir}
\usepackage{lipsum} % just for sample text
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\pagestyle{empty}
\aliaspagestyle{chapter}{empty}
\aliaspagestyle{part}{empty}

\setstocksize{194.73mm}{132.76mm}
\settrimmedsize{\stockheight}{\stockwidth}{*}
\settrims{0pt}{0pt}
\setlrmarginsandblock{0.55mm}{*}{*}
\setulmarginsandblock{0mm}{*}{*}
\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}
\setmarginnotes{0mm}{0mm}{0mm}
\checkandfixthelayout

\begin{document}
\chapter*{First Chapter}
\lipsum
\end{document}


This does not compile (with pdflatex), the error is

! Class memoir Error: \footskip (0.0pt) is too large for \lowermargin (-8.9395pt) by 8.9395pt.


I explicitly set header/footer to empty, how come it tries(?) to put something there and gets negative lowermargin? Thanks

\checkandfixthelayout[fixed]

@AlexV: It does? When I copy & paste your document to an empty file and add the [fixed], pdflatex will give me: ERROR: Class memoir Error: \marginparsep is zero or negative. – Thomas Nov 22 '11 at 21:36
