    Its not the printer- its the "Page Setup" settings in your web browser.

    Go to the top of your web browser and click on the "File" menu and click on "Page Setup" on the menu that appears. A window will open with print options to select. If you are using Internet Explorer you can just change the headers and footers section to print the items you want on the places of the page you want. If you are using Firefox you need to click on the "Margins & Headers / Footers" tab on the window that pops up - then you can change the header and footers.

    One note- if you are using Internet Explorer you may not see the "File" menu at the top of your browser. If you do not see it press the "ALT" button on your keyboard. You should see the File menu at the upper left of the screen. Then continue with the steps above. Let me know if you need any more help.

    Edit:

    Ok- you are probably running Internet Explorer 7 or 6. I just checked the "Page Setup" window for that and its pretty confusing!

    You might want to upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 or Firefox. The Page Setup on those is a lot more clear.

    If you choose not to upgrade here is a good resource to figure out the header and footer in Internet Explorer 6 and 7: http://www.uwec.edu/help/IE_7/headfoot.htm

    It looks like if you want the top to read the page title and the page number and number of total pages you would type this in the Header part of the Page Setup window exactly:

    &w&bPage &p of &P

    If you want the web address, date and time on the bottom you would type this in the Footer section exactly:

    &u&b&t&b&d

    Try that and see what you get.
