I want to change print settings of browser by javascript or CSS.
Specifically I need to clear Headers and Footers.

For example in GoogleChrome when I press Ctrl+p the print dialog appears and there is an option named "Headers and Footers" that by default has checked in my browser (Chrome version 30.0.1599.101 m).

1. I don't need a cross-browser solution. It's enough for me if I could find a solution in one browser such as Google Chrome or firefox or IE.

2. I know that this is possible by using ActiveX but I don't want to use ActiveX.

• javascript
• css
• browser

• 2 Very, very unlikely without any additional browser extension. JavaScript isn't meant to manipulate browser preferences. Also, the there's no print API (and the CSS printing module is really old). After all, it's the user's choice what to print. – Zeta Commented Oct 23, 2013 at 7:11
