Seems there's an alternate way for this, which doesn't require restarting
Claws Mail because it's read on printing. A ~/.claws-mail/print_page_setup
file can be created with the following content:

[Page Setup]
MarginTop = 
MarginBottom =
MarginLeft = 
MarginRight =
Name = A4
Width = 210
Height = 286

Set the suitable values after the equals signs, units seem to be millimetres
everywhere. Adjust paper for your printer if needed, the values need to be
there otherwise GTK will say the file is invalid¹².
