gEDA-bug: [Bug 703879] Re: add a way to configure the margin of printing

[KaiMartin <703879@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

@Peter: What do you mean by "strictly optional"?
Do you say, that the margin is currently not set by gschem but by some interaction with the environment? 

In my environment not all printers are real and not all of them report
the correct size when asked for the maximum printable area. In addition,
I don't have access to the printer configs. Printer details are provided
by a print server that may or may not interact correctly with the
printers themselves.

All I am asking for, is the ability to override whatever the margin is
set to now. This current setting just does not work properly under all
circumstances. Yes, this kind of manual override is a crutch for a not
properly working print environment. But print environments will not all
be working perfectly any time soon.

Title:
  add a way to configure the margin of printing

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently, there is no user accessible way to set the margin of "print
  extents with margins".

  Proposal: Make this quantity configurable. It should be set in a
  gschemrc and the print dialog should provide a way to override.
