Printer printing un-needed information page before each job. I don't know how to stop it.

[spunkyweber2237]

I have an old HP Envy 5542 printer. Somehow I started getting an unnecessary document before each printed page. It contains information such as: Filename; Directory; Template; Title; Author; etc.  I don't know how or where to go to stop this page from printing! Please help!
