Solution 1

Refer - Re: How to remove path and date in printing???[^].

Quote:
Please explain your requirements a little clearly. From what I gather, your getting stuff like "http://www.mysite.com/somepage.aspx", "page 1/1" and the date int the page header/footer after printing. Is this right? If so, [as i said before], it is NOT POSSIBLE to control the output (or remove) the header/footer from asp.net. It is entirely dependant on the browser's page layout settings. You CAN NOT change that. If you use window.print(), those texts will be in the print unless the user changes their browser's settings. If you don't want them, you have three options:

1. Request user to change their browser settings (impractical)

2. Use a reporting plugin / printing plugin.

3. Give them output in pdf format using something like itextsharp.

I hope you understand.

It can't be done as I referred in my answer.

So, if you want to do that, then go for itextsharp.

I think the only practical solution is #3, up-voted with 4.

By the way, the lack of any sound control (or no control at all) over those headers/footers in print is most Web browsers is considerable defect. I cannot explain such sloppiness, despite the intense browser wars...

It would be really good to have, not just to make your #1 item practical. :-)

Thanks a lot Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov... :)

Yes you are right. The browsers should provide control over it. This is the most common requirement these days to remove headers and footers.

Tadit

Yes, or, just the opposite, to add them. Or customize... Still they don't; some do one thing but not another.., that is pretty irritating...
