Every five years or so I end up trying to find a solution to a printing problem: how to make a browser not print the default header/footer garbage. Something that sounds like it should be easily possible but is not at all.
The vast majority of web pages being printed will be from someone in an office printing something for someone else in that office. I'd like to throw out this suggestion -- Divide this proposal in two:
Cross-browser/cross-OS normalization of what is expected out of the browser for printing (right now it's a mess based on an abandoned document from 2013 I think?)
All the fancy desktop publishing stuff
The 1 stuff is definitely not trivial to solve, but I'd hate to have to wait for 2 to solve what are very basic/common problems impacting lots of people every day.
(Maybe this isn't the right place, but I couldn't find a better one)
