95239 - [RFE] option to position elements in headers/footers or better arrangement

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 66713

(Core :: Printing: Output, enhancement)

Description

[jras]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    2001080104

The position of the elements in the printed document are not optimal.
Now it is:
Header: [Title (normally very long)]  [URL (normally very long)]
Footer: [Page # of #]     [Date]

This arrangement waste space in the header (need to truncate the
title and URL) and does not use space in the footer.

It would be better to allow the user to select the which elements
to position in which corners (or even in the center or header or
footer).

As a minor quick change it could be better to use the
following arrange:
Header:  [Title (can be very long)]  [Page # of #]
Footer:  [URL (can be veri long)  [Date in ISO-8601 format]

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Print any page
2. Look the results in paper.

Actual Results:  The result is the page printed (correctly) but with 
the header footer elements distributed as mentioned in 
description:
[Title] [URL]
[Page #] [Date]

Expected Results:  The best would be to allow the user select the distribution
of the elements in the corners (or centers) of the page.
But a provisional (and very easy to implement) minor change
is to select de ordering:
Header:  [Title] [Page # of #]
Footer:  [URL]   [Date (in ISO-8601 format)]

There's a bug requesting to be able to customize headers/footers, but it's hard
to find because it is resolved as Remind instead of been marked as future. It is
bug 17741, and handles most of this bug, although I think the suggestion to
improve meanwhile the headers and footers are still valid.
