91321 - Margins for header and footer are incorrect.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[MichaelWright9]

With bug 82573 "Postscript margins are being applied 2 times" fixed, the margins 
for the header and footer look to be 0.0 inches. Most printer cannot print 
margins set to 0. Can we make this a preference or set the header/footer margins 
to 0.25 inches?

duplicate of (reopened) bug 82573?

I dont think you would want the header and footers to use the margins.. but I 
could set them in a quarter inch from the page size to make sure there are 
seen.. does that make sense.

Setting the header/footer margins to 0.25 inch sounds good to me.

Don-
  If you have a fix for this can you please attach the patch file. Also, I would 
like to target this for 0.9.3 since your other margin fix has been checked in. 
Thanks!

Don, can we make these margin values a preference (use nsMargin)? I have found 
some cases where some of the HP DeskJet printers will not print the footer 
because it is too close to the bottom. :-( 
I have sent HP some e-mail to find out if this is a driver or printer issue. 
Making these values a preference would make it more flexible to handle printer 
cases like this.

I think that is another bug.. and that is a UI issue.  There are alot of 
preferences wanted for printing.. this being one of them.
