Sadly true from a practical standpoint. You *can* set the page margins (see http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/page.html#page-margins) and the page background (see http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-page/#page-properties); but among the major browsers, I believe only Opera implements the page margins and none of them implement page backgrounds yet. IE8 should be adding page margins, page-break-*, and orphans and widows as part of 2.1 completeness. Hopefully others will follow soon, and controlling print behavior will begin looking up. ;-) (You might want to play with Prince (http://www.princexml.com/) to see how margins/backgrounds/headers etc. will behave in general.)
