How To Remove Page Info From Printed Pages

By default the browser will add the date, page number and URL to a page printed from the Internet. For most (if not all) of the printables on this site, you may not want the text at the top and bottom of the page. Fortunately it's fairly easy to fix, just choose your browser and follow the instructions below. Internet Explorer 7 Printing Tips
By default there is a small picture of a printer, click it and go to "Page Setup ...". Below is a screenshot showing the button you are looking for.
Go to "File", "Page Setup ...", then delete the text in the" Headers and Footers text box. (The default for the header & w & bPage & p of & P and to footer & u & b & d if you need to put back into IE then the default margin is 0.75 inches ..)
Click the "OK" and you're done. Firefox Printing Tips
From the menu at the top left corner of your browser, select "File", then "page setup ..". Go to the second tab called "Margins & Header / Footer", in the drop-down menu select "Blank" for all items you do not want printed. Screenshot below gives a better view of what I mean.
If you wish, you can also set the print margins here as well, Firefox standard margin is set at 0.5 inches. Once you have the settings you selected, click "OK", and you're done!
If you want a faster way to get to the print preview feature in Firefox, extensions Print Print / Preview is very useful. It adds a submenu to your context menu (menu that appears when you right click on a web page) with the "Print", "Print Preview" and "Page Setup". Much faster if you change the margins, headers, etc. frequently.
