When I print out a web page, I would like the page to show the Web Address that it came from, the date, plus page 1 of 4, etc., if more than 1 page. I have looked everywhere and asked this question everywhere that I can think of and do not have an answer yet. If anyone knows how to, I need step by step instructions, please. Thanks

Well, my printers do it automatically, without having to be told. Maybe you just need a new, 21st century printer? Mine are both Lexmarks, this year’s models.
