I'm always one for trying to think 'green' and over the last few years have moved closer and closer to becoming paperless; at work and at home. I try to do as much as I can however we all know you can't get away from paper and it will be along time coming until we become a paperless world. So when I do have to print, especially from web pages I find the various header text, URL and meta-text makes the page cluttered and is simple unneeded. I've just found out how simple it is to remove from the print; giving a cleaner print and perhaps in the long term saving on the cost of printer ink.

On Windows
On Windows, it's easy to get rid of unwanted headers and footers on Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera. From what I can tell, Chrome's another story—but you can still try a workaround.
Firefox: Go to File -> Page Setup, then click the Margins & Header/Footer tab. Set every header and footer to --blank-- and click OK.
Internet Explorer: Go to File -> Page Setup, then set every drop-down in the Headers and Footers section to -Empty-. Click OK.
Opera: Go to Menu -> Print -> Print Options and untick the Print headers and footers checkbox.
On OS X
Like Windows, the process is pretty simple for most browsers in OS X.
Firefox: Go to File -> Print... (or hit Cmd+P), make sure the printing options are expanded (click the down arrow button next to the Printer if not), select Firefox from the third drop-down menu, then set all the Page Headers and Page Footers drop-downs to --blank--.
Safari: Go to File -> Print... (or hit Cmd+P), make sure the printing options are expanded (click the down arrow button next to the Printer if not), select Safari from the fourth drop-down menu, and untick Print headers and footers.
