With Internet Explorer, it is quite simple.

  • Open up your browser window
  • Choose "file" from the top menu
  • Click Page Setup (You may want to make a note of the settings so you can change them back later.
  • In the header and footer fields you will see nonsensical text, delete this text.
  • Choose OK. You can now print the document without the header and footer on the page.

Changing Page Setup in Firefox

  • Open your browser window
  • Choose "file" from the top menu
  • Click "Page Setup"
