FF29.0.1 for Linux, prints unwanted cover pages to all print outs from Firefox. The page contains nine lines of informative text such as Media Limits, Job ID, driver, driver version, description (of printer), driver version once more but instead of driver version it says my Printer Name, Make and Model, Printer (again) and finally Created at and Printed at. All this info is correct but as I see it exaggerated and UNWANTED and the settings can not be changed.

Here comes the real problem: Archive Menu/Print or ctrlP,presents to me a 5 tabbed settings page, amongst them "Job", (number 4 from left). To the left there is an option to add coverpages before or after. Have tried to change this behaviour to no one. But still I receive this extra page. This is something that has come with this version, I did not notice it in 27.0.1-1 or any earlier versions.

How do I stop this unwanted pages?

This is not a Firefox issue. This is about the settings of your printer software. If you can't get the settings to do what you want, you should contact the printers support page / phone number.
