PageFooters is a tricky option to begginning Mathematica users since it
can be set in three different places:
1) In the front end init.m file. This is a global level specification
and has the lowest level of precedence. This setting will be
overridden if this option is set explicitly at a lower level.
2) In the notebook's style sheet. Keep in mind that the appeances of a
notebook are determined largely by the style sheet associated with it.
This setting is determined by whatever the option of StyleDefinitions
is set in the actual notebook expression.
In each style sheet, you will see a prototype for Notebook. This
prototype serves to specify notebook-level options, like headers and
footers. The settings specified herein will be overridden if you
specify explicit footer option settings at the notebook level
3) The notebook itself will have options associated with it. This is
_the_ level you want to set things at if you want your changes to apply
to your notebook, but not to other notebooks that would use the same
shared style sheet.
If you are going to use the Option Inspector dialog to effect binding
changes in the appearance, it is important that you set the scope
indicator at the top of the dialog to read "notebook". If you set this
to "global" (as it seems you did, given that you're finding your
option settings stored in the front end init.m), then the changes wont
be heeded when the notebook is printed because the style sheet settings
will be calling the shots.
Hope that helps.
If you continue to run into troubles, please let me know.
