Description Jared Burns CLA 2002-03-13 10:09:16 EST 
I suspect that the number of users who want to see the print margin is a close
approximation of 0.

The default behavior of a system should reflect the common case. Printing out
source code is a relatively rare task. The margin is an obtrusive annoyance and
I believe that most users turn it off immediately. The print margin should not
be on by default.

the print margin was a requested many times on EC.

However, I agree that it should be off by default
