A browser which allows to manually change margins while printing

By John Parsons

What I want
I have filled a online form for admission. I need to take print of it to a file, but there are certain conditions.

  • There should be no Header or footer
  • Page should be A4 sized.
  • All 4 margins(i.e top, bottom, left and right) should be 0.25

What I tried
While using print to file option in Firefox, I can fulfill first 2 prerequisites but the margin is always 0.5. I went to about:config and changed the advanced settings as

printer_Print_to_File.print_margin_bottom;0.25
printer_Print_to_File.print_margin_left;0.25
printer_Print_to_File.print_margin_right;0.25
printer_Print_to_File.print_margin_top;0.25

Still I get 0.5 margin while printing.

Then I tried chromium browser. Here too I can fulfill first 2 prerequisites but margin is set to 0.4. I googled but did not find a solution to change it to 0.25


What I ask

So I want you to either provide a way by which I could change the margins to 0.25 in one of the above browsers, or provide some browser where I could fulfill all 3 prerequisites

Of course I use Ubuntu.

For some reason, the problem was fixed by resetting Firefox to it's default state.

  1. Go to Help ->Troubleshooting Information
  2. Select Reset Firefox as shown in Image.enter image description here

  3. Now set the following options(or relative similar options) to desired value.

    printer_Print_to_File.print_margin_bottom
    printer_Print_to_File.print_margin_left
    printer_Print_to_File.print_margin_right
    printer_Print_to_File.print_margin_top
  4. Now you can print the file.
