Bug#573997: epiphany-browser: Headers and footers not printed, margins not respected

[Raphael Frey]

I just tested Epiphany 2.29.92 under Debian Sid and unfortunately
nothing changed since I reported this bug – instead I remarked an
additional bug: If the web page has a long line of text formatted with
a non-proportional font and the line is not limited at the right (that
means goes further than the right page margin), Epiphany does not
break this long line while printing the page but makes the rest of the
page smaller so that this long line fits the page width (see attached
documents). This problem however does not only occur with Epiphany but
also with Midory, an other Webkit-based browser. So it seems that this
is a bug in Webkit and the bug should be forwarded to Webkit bugs
respectively to the bug list of the affected Webkit package.

By the way the problem with the side margins still is present when you
really PRINT a page. I suppose you did not make a real print but just
made a “print to file”, right? Because using this option and e.g.
creating a PDF file, there are side margins (but still not the margins
you have chosen in “Page setup” menu). If you really want to reproduce
this bug, you have to make a real print or to install (and configure)
the package ‘cups-pdf’ and then choose the configured PDF printer.

Unfortunately Webkit-based browsers are still unusable because an
important function, printing, does not work.
