106983 - printing layout: page numbers in the wrong corner

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 42817

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Sam Steingold]

build 2001101117
Moz puts title in the top-left, URL in the top-right, page number in the
bot-left, timestamp in the bot-right.
when a multi-page page is printed, different pages will have the same
title/URL/timestamps, but different page numbers, and when stapled, the page
numbers will be obscured.  it would be better to put the page numbers in the
bottom right corner (where the timestamp is now) and the timestamp in the
bottom-left.

thats the way it is.....numbers in lower left corner...
this is not a bug...

Boris, this is INVALID right?

This is the way it is, and this is a valid concern (though possible wontfix). 
The following will flip the date stamp and the page number:

user_pref("print.print_footerleft", "&D");
user_pref("print.print_footerright", "&P");

Just a quick comment.  How about printing in RTL languages?  In that case our
default prefs are correct. :)

In any case, there will be UI for this fairly soon.

The backend supports user defined headers and footers with control over placement. 

Marking as dup of bug 42817 which covers the page setup UI (which will include
the ability to customize the headers and footers)
