    Printer settings

    Hi all, I have a problem with printer settings.
    I want to let users to print an automatic generated image from a web page.
    the problem is that the image is big (little smaller than A4) and if I print
    the page from "File --> Print" the image is automatically resized or printed
    in more than one page, if I set the page properties from the File menu I can
    reduce print margin and cut off header and footer, and then it works fine.
    So I would like to set page properties form javascript to let users print
    the image with right dimensions.

    Can anyone help me?

      Thats the default behavior.

          You can't get there from here without some third-party help. Take a go at
          www.meadroid.com and have a look at ScriptX. The free version lets you
          control margins, headers, and footers.
