This does not work in Firefox 3.6, IE 7, Safari 5.1.7 or Google Chrome 4.1.
Note that we basically disables the page-specific margins here to achieve the effect of removing the header and footer, so the margin we set on the body will not be used in page breaks (as commented by Konrad) This means that it will only work properly if the printed content is only one page. Margin: 10mm 15mm 10mm 15mm /* margin you want for the content */ Margin: 0px /* this affects the margin on the html before sending to printer */ Margin: 0mm /* this affects the margin in the printer settings */ Print auto /* auto is the initial value */ With the directive, you can specify printer margin of the page (which is not the same as normal CSS margin of an HTML element): Safari still does not support setting printer page margin at all, but all the other major browsers now support it. ĭownside is that behavior in different browsers is not consistent. There is a directive in CSS that enables some formatting that applies only to paged media (like paper).
The CSS standard enables some advanced formatting. I very much want to reduce the usage of PDFs on my client's site, but the infringement on presentation (as well as the lack of reliability) are their main concern. If I set the page margins to 1 inch, it ADDS this to the half inch it already puts into place. One of the many struggles is with Firefox. I am very aware that CSS offers the option of changing the page orientation as well as the page margins. (simply saying "that goes against XYZ's security policy" isn't very convincing when XYZ has made significant changes in said policy in the last three years).įinally, when I say "change default print settings" I don't mean forever, just for my page, and I am referring specifically to print margins, headers, and footers. Similarly, if you know of a mainstream browser that has specific restrictions against EVER doing this, that is also helpful, but some fairly up-to-date documentation would be appreciated.

If some browsers offer this and others don't (or if you only know how to do it for some browsers) I welcome browser-specific solutions.
Remove firefox printer settings pdf#
Is there a way, either with CSS or javascript, to change the default printer settings when someone prints within their browser? And of course by "prints from their browser" I mean some form of HTML, not PDF or some other plug-in reliant mime-type. I'm hoping someone can provide a definitive answer here without pandering to speculation. I have seen this question asked in a couple of different ways on SO and several other websites, but most of them are either too specific or out-of-date.
