Question : How to remove header and footer when printing from IE for multiple computers.

Small problem, when users try to print from an online database we have, IE puts the header and footer on each page. Now each person can go in and change this through the IE settings, but is there a way to do this from the IT level for all computers, such as Active Directory or through a batch file. I do know that our SQL database try's to use a hack to change the setting for you, but I'm told w/o admin rights it doesn't work.
