+
+If you are not using Hatch for printing, you will probably want to configure
+your browser so that Chrome does not add headers and footers to items printed
+on certain printers.  For example, if you are printing spine labels, you likely
+will not want Chrome to add a date or URL to the margins of your label.
+
+You can turn off these headers and footers using the following steps:
+
+. In the Chrome menu, click _Print..._ to open the print preview screen.
+. Click _More Settings_.
+. Uncheck _Headers and Footers_.

+printer, use these steps:
+
+. In the Firefox address bar, type link:about:config[].
+. If a warning appears, click _I accept the risk_.
+. Type _print_header_ into this screen's search box.
+. Double-click on the relevant _print_headerleft_, _print_headerright_, and
+_print_headercenter_ entries in the grid.
+. Delete any existing data for that setting and click OK.
+. Type _print_footer_ into the screen's search box and repeat these steps
+for the footer settings.
