Printing Margins - Reset Safari Library?

Question

I am having a problem printing documents from safari, from only 1 of my accounts on my macbook. The guest account has no problems printing.
The problem is the same regardless what printer I print to. When told to print safari will format the document to fill the entire page. Creating a custom size paper with custom margins doesn't correct the problem either. When printing pages, safari formats the page to print larger than the margins the printer can physically print to (unless set up to print borderless). Also, printing to pdf produces a document that is formatted to outermost margins of the document.
Is it possible to reset safari to a like new state? I've tried going Safari -> Reset Safari, with no improvement. I don't want to create a new user account, there must be a way to reset it.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I had the same problem where the left margin was clipped off and literally spent hours trying to fix it.
I found a solution that worked for me so I registered for this Forum expressly to post the fix.
It's simple, but not intuitive.
From *within Safari* choose "File-->Print." Then select the "Paper Size" drop-down option and choose "Manage Custom Sizes."
Use the "+" sign to create a new template.
Double-click on the name of the template "Untitled" and type in a name of your choosing, such as "US Letter for Safari" and hit "return" to save the name.
For "Paper Size" type in "8.5 in" for width and "11 in" for height.
For "Non-Printable Area" select "User Defined."
Then input your Top, Bottom, Left, and Right margin settings.
I input the following:
-Top and Right: .25"
-Bottom: .5"
-Left: .35"
Then hit "OK" and quit Safari.
Then go to "System Preferences -->Print and Fax" and then select your printer from the menu on the left side.
Once you do that, you should see a drop-down tab in the lower-middle section of the screen that says, "Default Paper Size."
Select the paper size that you just created in Safari and quit System Preferences.
Then open Safari and print a test page.
What's really odd is that you DO NOT need to select the Paper Size on the "Print" screen menu. For me, it still defaults to "Letter," but it actually prints the margin sizes that I set for my Custom paper size.
I hope this saves at least one person all the frustration that I went through looking for a fix!
