you could force a header/footer of your own perhaps? Maybe blank ones would work? (haven't tried it).

Check out the FAQs for this forum, especially this one :

Posting code? Wrap it with code tags: [ignore]
Code: 
[/ignore][code]CodeHere
[ignore][/code][/ignore].

That works... in that it will add a header / footer to the page. But it won't get rid of the headers / footers that the browser adds onto whatever it prints out.

Only the user has control over their browser header and footers.

yeah, on careful reading of that html i can now see what its doing (was just a quick pointer post yesterday :).

Its creating an 'artificial' header and footer on each page, so the real header/footer would still come up according to users' browser settings. the THEAD and TFOOT text would also be included on each page though.

Let us know if you do come up with a way of suppressing/changing users' browser header/footer.

Unless you use an ActiveX control to do your printing, there is no way of automatically removing the header and the footer for the user by just using the printing capabilities of IE.
I visited another forum lastweek where a similar thread has been going for nearly two years without success.

Hope that helped even though it might be a bit discouraging :(
