I need to adjust the margins when printing a page from the web. The print runs off the bottom of the page. When checking in print preview, the margins are in millimeters. Would like to change that to inches (which i am more familiar with). Where can i change the settings from metric to inches.

{ Ctrl + P } then Properties = do you have letter size paper selected or A4 size?
A4 is a bit longer than Letter size paper.

From what I have seen on my PC's, you get millimeters with metric size paper and fractional measurements with US paper sizes.
