You are right, Claus. There is (was) a misunderstanding. It was a misunderstanding (actually a gross ignorance) on my part of 
how the printer configure dialog actually works. My apologies.

I tried the Printing example in the source code at /app/examples/Printing/. And, with Qt5 (I did not try with GTK), margin 
settings are NOT respected.
