Can you Block a URL?

[Chad]

I need to block a URL from printing at the bottom of the page from a
website. Is there any code that can do that? I know I can make it
into a PDF on the fly and that will elminate alot of hassle, but is
there any easier way? Please assist.

You can't control the browser's print / page setup settings from ASP.

No, there isn't any way to control this with ASP. It's an option that the
visitor can set in his browser.

That's done on the client, so using ASP you really can't affect it.

You can't affect the printer settings directly from javascript, no.
If it were in a div you made yourself, you could use the @media in your
stylesheet to not print it, but I believe the URL printing is just how some
printers do it. You'd have to have access to the printer settings, which
normal client-side javascript cannot do. If this is an intranet app with
MSIE, you might have more of a chance, but I think you'd have to use ActiveX
or something.
