Printed documents lack margins, cutting off text

Hi there,

I recently printed a text document that I typed in mousepad, and noticed that mousepad doesn't put any margin around the text, so unless manual spacing is put around the text, a good chunk is cut off.

As a workaround, I put a couple newlines and indented the text I was working with, but that's not always feasible.

IMO either assuming a 0.5inch / 1 cm margin may be a good default (and/or allow the user to customize, e.g., in the print dialog).

Attaching an example PDF, notice how close to the corner of the page the text is by default.
