The only time that I've had an entire footer not print is when going the
other way.  That is, footers on a page formatted for A4 didn't print on US
Letter.  Approximately, A4 is eight and a quarter inches wide x eleven and
two thirds inches long and the footer lay within the bottom inch.

Anything on a Letter page that lies within the right-hand half inch is
likely to be lost when printed onto A4.  This is because A4 is approximately
a quarter inch narrower than Letter.  To this, add the quarter inch
non-printing area for most printers to give the half an inch 'dead zone'.

If your documents must print on either US Letter or A4, then why not use Q4
paper size.  This conceptual paper size is the same width as A4 and the same
height as US Letter.  This size ensures that your text will fit onto
standard stock world-wide.
