Printouts have footer information cut off.
Hello, I had this problem before with previous versions of Firefox and I was able to fix things but now, nothing seems to work. I see the footer info in its entirety on my screen whenever I do a "Print Preview"; however, at the margins, the lettering/numbering is cut off. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi SCBrown, sometimes Firefox doesn't read the printer's "unprintable" area correctly and you need to modify the settings. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste edge and pause while the list is filtered
If you have multiple printers defined, you'll need to figure out the name Firefox recognizes for the one that has the problem. Usually it's the name shown in the Print dialog.
(3) Double-click the print.printer_BrandX.print_edge_top preference and enter your desired distance in hundreds of an inch (assuming you use inch measurements). For example:
- 10 => 1/10 inch
- 25 => 1/4 inch
In a different tab, use print preview to test that there is now that amount of space between the top edge of the paper and the page title.
(4) Repeat for the print.printer_BrandX.print_edge_bottom, print.printer_BrandX.print_edge_left , and print.printer_BrandX.print_edge_right preferences.
If the edge preferences do not exist, or to hedge your bets, you can set the print.printer_BrandX.print_unwriteable_margin_bottom, print.printer_BrandX.print_unwriteable_margin_left , print.printer_BrandX.print_unwriteable_margin_right, and print.printer_BrandX.print_unwriteable_margin_top preferences similarly.
That should allow you to accommodate any printer's "unprintable" area.
