How do you disable the page URL from printing on every page?

It's really annoying, and it's a waste of ink as well, especially since many pages have long URLs that don't fit on the printed page anyway.

Luckily we can easily change this with a small configuration tweak in either browser.

Remove from Internet Explorer

Simply click on the little arrow next to the printer icon on the toolbar, and then choose Page Setup from the menu.

Now you should see a "Headers and Footers" section where you can specify what is printed. The codes, like &w and &b are replaced with the values on the current page, such as the URL.

To remove the URL from printing, simply remove the text from the Footer box.

Tip: If you just want to remove the header and footer for a single print job, you can click on Print Preview, and then click on the button for "Turn headers and footers on or off"
