Bug Description
Feature request:
When I print to a physically printer, there is always a risk that some part of the drawing is too close the edges, so that the printer cannot draw that close to the paper edges.
In MS Word (and possibly other text/documents editors) - the program detect if the printer is not capable to print all the contents of the file, and will give the user a warning and posibility to cancel the printing.
That would be a very nice feature in Inkscape to have, espechially since I use more than one printer.
Workaround: Make a template that having guides that is placed on the printer's outer limits. Downside of this is:
* Needs to write several test pages before the template is usable and accurate.
* Have to make one template per printer.
AFAIU already tracked in /bugs.launchpad .net/inkscape/ +bug/171099>
