Setting Print Margins

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 03.2009

I have a page that i want the margins to be set to 0 for everything, and .1 inches for the left. I know I can change it in the page setup; however, I wish to have ti always be the above settings. Here is what I have in my .css file:

[code]
.omit{display:none;}

@media print {
body {
margin-right:0inches;
margin-top:0inches;
margin-bottom:0inches;
margin-left:.1inches;
}
}
[/code]

Is that even close to being right? When I load the page and go to page setup, the numbers are all whacked up, aka, they are not 0,0,0, and .1.

@dzirkelbauthorMar 03.2009 — That may still work...the IE session defaults to 0's on this one computer (ony computer that will be using this). So, if I make the body default different, then it would print different right?

Right now, with everything at 0's, the left gets cut off a little bit.

@dzirkelbauthorMar 03.2009 — I'm printing on a 2x1 label, so .1 is exactly what I need.

@FangMar 03.2009 — Is the label alignment correct?

Does a plain text print correctly?

Have floats, margins and padding been reset?

Success!
