But it would make a difference depending on what printer you have.
Controlling the printout has the same problems as controlling the
dispplay on the screen. It will be heavily dependent upon resolution,
printer model, paper size, toner callibration, and the display font and
size on the screen; or do you propose to standardize the printout,
preferences be damned?
One thing I _would_ like to see implimented is a way to print the
background image.
