If the header or footer are getting clipped, please file a bug.
Include the printer model, and a description of the settings. It may
be possible to work around the issue with different settings, so do
please try. If you do find a workaround, that's info we'd like to
hear too.
As far as text being too large by default, I completely agree. I
print scaled at 70%. This is remembered between runs of Xcode. (I
haven't had to change my settings for a couple of years, and I print
from Xcode often.)

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
footer being cut off. This morning, while looking at some old
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?
