I don't know that the notebook stores any information about the width
of a printed page. If that is the case, any centering you obtain will
be derived from you implicitly constructing the layout so that the
picture has enough padding on its left hand side.

Maybe one guess would be to make a gridbox with 1 row and three
columns and then set the options for the other two columns until the
picture would be in the middle of a printed page (change your screen
environment to printout).
