[Bug 29622] Re: Many web browsers not print the headers and footers.

[Bruce Miller]

I am running Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex beta with Firefox 3.0.3.

This bug is not only still valid, but Firefox 3.0 has introduced serious
regression.

To the best of my knowledge, *_all_* HP LaserJet printers (and I have
used many, going back to the original ~1986 model) have an unprintable
area 0.5" (12.7mm) across the top and bottom of all paper sizes and
0.25" (~6.4mm) along each side of all paper sizes (top, bottom and sides
as seen in "portrait" mode).

To get browser headers and footers to print reliably has always taken
tweaking of the printable area and margins/headers/footers. The Firefox
3 page setup and printer dialogs have removed all ability to alter these
settings.

This regression makes Firefox 3 on Linux close to useless for printing
Web pages. I am trying to eliminate Windows from my life and
considerably prefer Firefox to Konqueror. This regression therefore
represents a considerable setback.
