Mikkel:
I tried to change the margins on printouts (Admin > Printing, 'job
options' tab) - but they apparently didn't help the situation.
When I print simple text documents from gedit, the top and bottom
margins are bigger than I need. Does gedit do this on its own? I can't
find anything in its prefs to config the print margins.
Or, is there some other way to adjust print margins?
Btw, I'd consider another text editor.
One thing that may help is to File --> Page Setup --> General and
uncheck Print page headers. I know it did for me when I did not set any
page headers.
Already knew about that. The issue for me is that there is wasted space.

I did this - didn't change anything for gedit. :(
gedit is apparently hard-coded to use certain margins.

I checked this out - it actually put a new twist on things for me. It
didn't occur to me that I could use a terminal command to print!
So, when I need to tweak my printouts, I'll probably use lp.
