       Hello,

       the only way I found to configure firefox for printing, was not 
       using 'File --> Page Setup' nor 'File --> Print' but
       typing the URL  'about:config'
       and changing the values of the print.xxx parameters there.

       Warning "Edit --> Find in this page' doesn't work here

       Just my two cents.
