GLPI print margins

I didn't find where to edit to have control of the margins of the printing system of GLPI.

Everytime I print or preview a print, it generates a page with a lot of centimeters of margin. I need to lower that value to 1 cm.

Where to edit?

Re: GLPI print margins

Are you talking about the "view pdf export" option ? If so, after the pdf has been generated you can then easily choose "fit to page" and the margins should be minimal, unless your printer driver settings say something else.

No, I'm talking about the browser "print preview" and "print" options.

Other pages/websites, respect the browser and system margins, but GLPI doesn't. It just adds 2~3 centimeters to margins. The printed page looks ugly.

Re: GLPI print margins

Why are you using the browser preview and do not export the print out in a pdf with integrated GLPI functionality ? Anyhow, if you use IE7 you can also pull your margins in the print preview to the ones that you want (1cm) and in Firefox you can do this via the page setup function.

Re: GLPI print margins

I'm not exporting to PDF, becouse the report function doesn't have it.

Anyway even the export function for the listings do the same thing. Always center and shrink the text.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and Firefox 3.0.6
