Unfortunately I don't have a solution.
But I would like to support this as an enhancement request

See screen snaps.
Does this help?

Go into Page editor. Right click on image and select Annotated Text

A second way, even better, is to type the info into IPTC information (Right click on Thumb)
Then in Full page Editor, select Floating text from Right click Menu, and tell it to print IPTC description.
See attached screen snaps.

Not really.
Of cause it can be done "by hand".
But it allways some kind of static.
I was thinking of a variable or special text that can be used by the Floating Text Properties.

Thanks a lot for your answers. Setting the IPTC data as well as a manual text can tell you what kind of settings should have been used but not the actual settings being used for printing. At least in terms of test-images and paper tests it also means unnecessary work and the chances to have different printer/iptc/text settings is quite high.

I've posted a feature request to support the printersettings as footer information - if you also think that this would be a usefull feature, please support the request.
