@ScottKillen

Well darn! I'm actually not using a theme right now, unless that's the problem? I downloaded and tried 'Things' and it still didn't work.
Very bizarre that it works for you when it doesn't on my end... Is it even working when exported as a PDF?

@InvaderHawk

I use the minimal theme. Maybe that is it? I know printing support is sketchy for a lot of platforms.

@ScottKillen

I've tried it with that theme too, but to no avail! Well, it's alright, I can work with it. Thank you so much for trying to help me figure it out!

@InvaderHawk 👍

how do you have Obsidian print 1" standard margins?

@yosun Something like this might work:

@page {
    margin: 0.5in; /* set margin on each page */
    size: 8.5in 11in; /* set page size */
  }

See Printing With Style: Using CSS for Printer Optimization

i ended up using this though it is perhaps a bit overkill simply to generate standard 1in" margins for print https://github.com/yosun/Obsidian-academic-export

You can use this snippet for margins:

/* Page structure. */
@page { 
 margin-top: 60px !important;
 margin-left: 60px !important;
 margin-right: 60px !important;
 margin-bottom: 60px !important;
}

You can use this snippet for margins:

Thanks, @Pri5m4
