Mike, You've probably tried this, but just in case you haven't... :-) File -> Print... -> Options tab -> Header and Footer There are two rows of three pull-down option menu boxes that correspond to the six about:config options you already found. You can set any or all to --blank--. Any changes you make should be written to the ~/.mozilla/firefox/<random>.default/prefs.js file when you exit Firefox. It should be owned by <you>.<you> and its access permissions should be 755. HTH --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
