I have no answer, but do have a question...
What possible purpose would you have to hide the address from printed pages???
If it's your website, it's only a good thing...and if it's someone else's it's likely also either good or nothing, not bad...
If strictly for aesthetics...and you need total control, why not send the output to PDF and let the user print the way printing document online was intended
A few classes exist for dealing with PDF documents...I can' imagine it being very difficult
Cheers

The &x things are just preset stuff. Like page numbers. &p will be the current page, &P will be total pages. &b might bold the following text. &d will probably be the date. &w will probably be the web address. Delete some stuff out of it and check print preview to find out. Google will tell you all this I think.Charles256 wrote:&w&bPage &p of &P

Where are the UPC's coming from? I am not sure the header and footer data on the page are making that space. If they are, change your header and footer to empty and reduce the header and footer margins in the page set up to 0. If there is a gutter property, change that to say.05 or something small. See if that helps.
Just keep in mind that print settings like these are based on a users browers settings and cannot be changed by the script (unless you are doing something immoral or unethical
