attached is the header I use as you can see it is Letter.
Brian suggests that it's the printer and his test does suggest that it is the printer; But no other pdf produced by other software has this problem all the others (3) print with an expected top margin and bottom margin. So I'm stuck, I'd like to think there's a printer setting but since it prints normally for everything except lily/fresco-pdfs that doesn't make sense to me. If you can explain it then I'll look further.
thanks

hello using 2.22 and current version of Frescobaldi. using 'letter' and
    a new printer Canon
lately the top margin above the header has gotten wider and the footnote (2 lines smaller font) on the first page of scores is getting cut off or
    the bottom line is cut in half.

Is the easy solution to go smaller overall my default is 20 or is there
    a paper solution that would do this?

I expect that you are using A4, rather than letter, as your paper definition.

Can you share a simple file that has the problem?

The Frescobaldi score wizard allows you to select letter as the paper
size.  If you do nothing to specify a paper size, you will get A4.
