While epiphany will remember and save the paper size settings as set in
the "Print Setup" dialog, it fails to actually use it for scaling the
output.
The end result is that it appears everything is printed under the
assumption that the paper size matches A4 paper. As I'm in the US, I
generally print to US Letter.
The end result is that the printouts are truncated at the edges, making
certain pages difficult if not impossible to read.
This is easily reproduced by setting your paper size to that of an
envelope or small note and then printing. The size of the output area
will be correct but the printout itself will be truncated so that the
print area acts as a "window" into the printout itself.
I can indeed reproduce that with note or envelope sizes; this is a known
issue with Gecko, which can only render to a small, fixed number of
paper sizes.
However I can't reproduce this with the US Letter paper size. I have
tried to print the same page in both A4 and US Letter formats; the
results are completely different, and none of them is truncated at the
edges.
OK, I tried printing directly to postscript and discovered what the real
problem is:
Epiphany was printing to letter without any margins whatsoever. It's
placing the output directly at the edges of the paper.
So I defined a custom size, "Letter with margins", and added margins to it.
The end result is that the web page image itself is within the margins
but the header and footer (which tell you the site in the printout and
the page number) are at the edges.
I then changed my printer driver to use the hpijs version and printed
via Letter (not my custom size) again and that seems to work properly,
except that the header and footer aren't visible.
So I guess if there's any bug here, it's that the print engine doesn't
account for the margins when placing the header and the footer, only the
content.
