does xcode have some secret hidden printing preferences somewhere? I
just printed a page of text (notes), and the footers with the date and
page number are half-clipped off. Plus, the font is hideous and too
big. Can I change this on a per-file or per-print job basis?

For what it's worth, I've NEVER printed a page in XCode without the

print-outs, I considered filing a bug report, but I assumed the issue
was fixed. Should we file bugs?
This exact issue was discussed at length with Project Builder. I just
gave up on printing from PB and as a result have never even considered
printing from XCode. I always open the required document with BBEdit,
which does a very nice job.
As I recall there was some response from our Apple friends when the
issue was being discussed. They generally expressed amazement that
people were unhappy with printing, which they thought was perfectly OK.
The rest of us found the fonts to be ridiculously large and ill-fitted
to the page.
I can only assume that Xcode programming team have particular printer
that interprets their preferred font in such a way as to look OK to the
developers, and they have never looked at anyone else's printout.
I just did a test. My page is not clipped, so maybe I'm being unfair
on the Xcode developers. It uses a much bigger font than I would like
so it spread my code over too many pages. I'm sticking with BBEdit.
One thought on the clipping. Have you made the correct selection for
US Letter or A4?
