can't change the printing font size and page borders width

[dino99]

Discovered that issue by:

- writing an email
- then select to print it on a HP c4585 all-in-one deskjet

results:
- the printed text font size is too big
- the bottom and header free border width are too thin:
 * the first printed line, on top, is cuted: only the half bottom is printed
 * the last line of the page is also not viewable: printed outside the limit border

Trying to set a different formatted page:
 - System Settings Printers does not offer such settings to change the fonts used and/or the borders page width
 - dconf also miss such options
 - hptools cant help neither

Needs such options offered inside the gui

Hello,

I have the same problem, I cannot change the font size when I print and the font is way too big to do anything with the printed document. I am surprised that a bug report was filled in 2005 on this topic, and 12 years later I cannot find a way to solve this. Am I missing the right option or is it still impossible to print correctly an email with evolution in 2017?

I thank you in advance for any hint.
