The only place where I see an option for margins is in the 
Chrome/Chromium/Vivaldi print settings. Once this is changed to Custom 
and I drag the bottom margin closer to the edge of the paper, the 
footers displayed in the Print Preview window, then disappear. They only 
reappear if I move the margin back to its default setting or above the 
location of the footers.

In the regular Linux print dialog, the Page Setup tab offers no options 
for margins or footers.
