I was going into properties in the print dialog that pops up when I
click on print check and decreasing the margin as much as possible.  I
have tried to print to PDF as well and the margins appear the same on
screen. When printing a hard copy of the PDF the margins are the same.

I did some digging and it appears that KMM 5.2 uses qtextdocument.
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtextdocument.html#documentMargin-prop
From what I can tell the default margin is set to 2cm which is about
what I'm getting. Also, by default a page number is printed at the
bottom, which I am also seeing.  Assuming I'm on the right track, how
do I set the margins to 1mm and get rid of the page number?
