We don't want to remove header. As it shows into IE 8 same we want it from chorme as well. And user don't want to change any setting every thing will be done from java script or code.

Solution 2

under web development, you can't touch the printer using javascript. You can't even know whether there's a printer attached to the computer viewing your website. And after you issued window.print(), you can't find out whether the page has been printed successfully.
