Is there any way to make the page# not print (at the top of the page) when printing a table off of a website?

It is a setting on a browser that the user has to change in the print options.

You know if there is a way for me to have it automatically default to not print while I'm scripting my own page? I am hosting the website, and just don't want it printing when anybody else prints from this .htm page.

NO. Unless you find some ActiveX that does it for IE or you go to everyone's computer and change it, other than that you are stuck with it.

OR develop them into pdfs and you have full control....

Well by going off of that, couldn't someone just do <link href="pdffilename" media=print> and have a dynamic PDF file created each time someone accesses the page?

That only works for IE. Other browsers will print the current page using the settings from the print stylesheet and the browser and so will print page numbers if the person printing it wants page numbers.

There is an ActiveX object by the name of ScriptX (developed by MeadCo) that gives you advanced control over how things print on user's PCs, but it's not free, and it requires users to download an ActiveX object, which many may object to. However, if you're convinced that you need this functionality, it should do the job.

We use it in my office for things like defaulting reports to print in landscape mode, auto-printing multiple documents (bypassing the normal print dialog), and forcing certain printouts to go to a particular printer (i.e. forcing long documents to use the high-speed printers). It works well, but most of it's functions really have no place on a public web site.

Again, IE Only
