alternatively you can provide printable versions of your files/pages in another format ex: pdf, doc, rtf, etc etc.
Hello...

You can remove the Footer value by going to FILE -> PAGE Setup in IE. I think &u in the footer value means the page URL. But it depends on the user print settings....I don't think you can change this programmatically.

LorneBackler,

I agree with Alextr.  I would suggest PDF only, though.  Doc and RTS are editable formats.  You wouldn't want people to download a DOC file (let's assume it's their receipt for ordering on your e-commerce site) and start changing the numbers.  It also gives your users the ability to electronically save the page instead of printing it on paper.

Thank you,

Good luck with your project.
