   I don't think that comparable functionality is a goal of the new
   Print plug-in. People can always install the gutenprint plug-in if
   they need this functionality. Not saying that the new Print plug-in
   shouldn't be improved, but it should not be our goal to overload it
   until is has all the features that the gimp-print plug-in had.

Whatever one thinks of all the color adjustments and the
Gimp-Print/Gutenprint UI in general, the live preview and margin/page
adjustments always attract comment if something breaks about them...
