Remove header and footer when printing from WebBrowser control

Question

I have a C# application that use MySql database. I built a report using HTML.

I fill string attribute with tags and send the content to a WebBrowser control in a new form.

The report appear correctly, but when I call print preview dialog,

webBrowser1.ShowPrintPreviewDialog();

the header and footer appear in the report with values:

• In header: # of pages.
• In footer: Date and "about:blank".

This is a screenshot for the issue:

How could I remove the header and footer?

Looks like you may have to change registry settings before printing, then change them back again:

    RegistryKey oKey  = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(strKey,bolWritable);
    Console.Write (strKey);
    oKey.SetValue(strName,oValue);
    oKey.Close();
