In prefs.js settings for the distance between the paper edges and the header- and footerlines can be made in 'print_edge_top', '..._left', '..._bottom' and '..._right'. These settings are read in http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/ident?i=GetEdgePaperMarginCoord where the values are limited to one inch. Contrary to the comment in line http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/layout/generic/nsSimplePageSequence.cpp#198 this limitation is sometimes to small and should be extended to two or three inches. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- See code -

Attachment: Patch for current code

I use fanfold paper with a tear-off part wider than an inch. The maximum value of 1.0 inch causes that the right parts of header and footer are partially printed on the tear-off part of the sheet.

I can not submit anything to the code. Please do this after your review.
