How To Remove Page Info From Printed Pages

By default browsers will add
the date, page number and
URL to any page printed from
the Internet. For most (if not
all) of the printables on this
site, you probably don’t want text at the top and bottom of
the page. Luckily it’s pretty
easy to fix, just pick your
browser and follow the
instructions below. Internet Explorer 7 Printing
Tips By default there’s a small
image of a printer, click that
and go to “Page Setup…”.
Below is a screenshot showing
the button you’re looking for. Go to “File”, “Page Setup…”,
then erase the text in the
“Headers and Footers text
boxes.
(The default for header is
&w&bPage &p of &P and for footer &u&b&d if you need to
put it back later. IE’s default
margins are 0.75 inches.) Click the “OK” button and
you’re done. Firefox Printing Tips From the menu in the top left
corner of your browser,
choose “File”, then “Page
setup..”. Go to the second tab
called “Margins & Header /
Footer”, in the drop down lists choose “Blank” for all the
items you don’t want printed.
The screenshot below gives a
better view of what I mean. If you want, you can also
adjust the print margins here
as well, Firefox’s default
margins are set at 0.5 inches.
Once you have your setting
chosen, click “OK”, and you’re done! If you’d like a faster way to
get to the print preview
feature from within Firefox,
the Print / Print Preview
extensions is very handy. It
adds a submenu to your context menu (the menu that
pops up when you right click
on a webpage) with “Print”,
“Print Preview” and “Page
Setup”. Much faster if you
change margins, headers etc. often
