Hi,
In the process of printing a A4-drawing on a A4 page, (Glue-)margin-settings in millimeters is used.
Left 10 mm, Top 5 mm, Right 5 mm, Bottom 5 mm. Printer HP2500C, A4, B&W, Draftmode.
For some odd reasons, at last minute and only accessable via [Properties] the Drawing-settings are overruled by the Application-setting qcad-bin, in a default Letter page settings (and margins?), and the page needs manualy loading.
If qcad-bin page is set to Millimeters, Page A4, the result is not correct; the drawing margins are ignored

Thanks for your detailed report.
Note that the glue margins configured in QCAD have no relationship with the margins set in the printer driver preferences dialog.
Glue margins in QCAD are only used to compute the necessary overlap when printing to multiple pages. No margins are enforced by QCAD in any way. In other words: QCAD always prints to the maximum extends that are physically possibly or enforced or configured by the printer driver.
