The settings for
File->Page setup->Header/Footer doesn't have any effect for printing out pages
with JacaScript:window.print().

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable printing of headers & footers (File->Page setup->Margins-> eader/Footer)
2. Print out any pages with File -> Print: No headers and footers are printed ouu.
3. Print the same page from JavaScript-Command window.print() instead.


Actual Results:  Although headers and footers are disabled they are always printed.

Expected Results:  Choosed settings should have effect.
I confirm this statement, I have a similar problem under Windows 2000 with moz1.0
(and preceding ones).
When using Ctrl-P or the print icon or menu, the print default is A4 format
(which is also the system default of the printers). When using the javascript
function
<a href="javascript:printWindow();">Print</a> (taken from www.viamichelin.com
in print view of a map), then the default is Letter. And there is no way to
change this default.
I would confirm this bug as well.  Using mozilla 1.0 (win32) I get the same results.

I did this by setting through a system like this:
<SCRIPT Language="Javascript1.1">
function printcommand()
{
    window.print()
}
</SCRIPT>
<BODY onload="printcommand()">
....
I can confirm it also in WinXP with Mozilla 1.0

the build is very old 0.9.9, this now works on the trunk, and the printing not
working in the onload handler is a dup.

No, the settings for header/footer doesn't have any effect for recent mozilla
1.0 linux (with window.print()).
I'm using a user.js file as currently as a workaround.

- begin user.js -
pref("print.print_headerleft", "");
pref("print.print_headercenter", "");
pref("print.print_headerright", "");
pref("print.print_footerleft", "");
pref("print.print_footercenter", "");
pref("print.print_footerright", "");
- end user.js -
It works on the trunk, maybe a fix didn't make it to the branch
bulk verification.
