Pamela --

You didn't say which version of Internet Explorer you're using so I don't
know if the following will help or not. It's from the help file for IE 4.0
Platform Preview 2:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
To change how a page looks when it prints
On the File menu, click Page Setup.
Click Headers.
In each Headers and Footers box, specify the information to be printed by
using the following variables. Variables can be combined with text (for
example, Page &p of &P).

To print this					Type this 
Window title					&w 
Page address (URL)				&u 
Date in short format (as specified
  by Regional Settings in Control Panel)		&d 
Date in long format (as specified
  by Regional Settings in Control Panel)		&D 
Time in the format specified by
  Regional Settings in Control Panel		&t 
Time in 24-hour format				&T 
Current page number				&p 
Total number of pages				&P 
A single ampersand (&)				&& 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

My copy of IE came with the header preset to &w&bPage &p of &P (which
prints the page title on the left margin and "Page n of n" on the right)
and the footer set to &u&b&d (which puts the URL on the left margin and the
date on the right). As you've no doubt guessed, &b moves the subsequent
printing to the right margin.

Hope this helps!
