[nflug] Printing problem

[Joe]

Thanks.  That seems to have fixed it, but ...

I had some trouble getting the new settings to stick.  A few times they 
seemed to revert to 0.04 instead of 0.5.  It was weird.  I also went 
into xpp to fix things up and there, 0.5" = 36 points.  In some places, 
that was right and in some wrong.  All fixed now.

What I really don't understand is since I had this working long ago, how 
did it go bad?  A new install of Firefox shouldn't have affected my 
margin offsets, should it?
