I am not sure of either of your issues with your printer and page, but, 
I print in brochure format quite often with my early music group for 
concert program booklets. Here are the settings I use for US letter size 
that allows me to use the full width of the pages ... note that I am in 
Canada, where US Letter is the default paper size. However, you may be 
able to juggle some of the page settings around to fit an A4 page 
correctly. The point is that, the settings that I use allow the use of 
the full size of the brochure page (down to the page footer).

Here are my settings for Format->Page

Format: User
Width: 13.97cm
Height: 21.59cm
Orientation: Portrait

Margins:
Left: 1.27cm
Right: 1.27cm
Top: 1.27cm
Bottom: 1.27cm

Layout Settings:
Page layout: Right and Left
Format: 1,2,3

If you want a footer, then on the Footer tab

Footer: checkmarked
Same content left/right: checkmarked
Same content on first page: checkmarked
Left margin: 0.00cm
Right margin: 0.00cm
Spacing: 0.51cm
Use dynamic spacing: NOT checkmarked
Height: 0.51 cm
AutoFit height: checkmarked

Hope this helps a bit.

Cheers,

Marc
