I'm using Debian here, so the information is based on what I see with
Debian.  I have an HP Deskjet printer and with some apps, notably web
browsers, the footers would not print when printing web pages.  I did
not have this problem printing with Claws Mail.

Go to the Printing preferences.  Right-click the printer icon, select
Properties. Go to Job Options and look for Scaling. Change the 100%
(default) to 99%.

Changing the scaling to 99% (and to 98% with a different printer),
solved this problem for me. After changing the scaling percentage, you
will be prompted for the admin/root password to save the change being
made.

Without knowing what type of printer you have, it's definitely worth a
try. Good luck.
