Can someone please tell me how to set the header and footer settings and save those settings for printing so that I don't have to go into the settings area and make sure that my printer is always selected at "print with borders" which is what seems to make the header and footer always print out on my page.
Also, how do I utiilize the "custom setting" under headers and footers. I want to divide the date and time on the page and I don't know if I can do that. That's where I'm wondering if the "custom" area comes into play.
I have the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer.
Thanks for any help!

From what it looks like you created multiple threads on the same topic. While this may get you an answer in a swifter fashion, it deprives other users from contacting us. If you would in the future create only one thread per issue, it will be greatly appreciated.
As I explained in this post : http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Issues-Troubleshooting/How-to-set-the-Header-and-Footer-Settin...
Those settings are not set through the printer's drivers or software, and instead are part of the program you are using (in the case of the thread I responded to Firefox).
I hope that you have the information that you needed, and have a great day!

Sorry about the separate postings.
I guess I'm just frustrated because I previously had a Kodak printer and I was able to set my preferences and they were saved regardless of which browser I was using.
The same goes for highlighting an area I want to print and then selecting "selection" on the print page.
I will try the suggestion you offered.
Thank you.
