That requires a little explanation. SciTE on Windows uses the same API
to draw and print. In GTK+, SciTE sends files to an external program
to print.

The banners are coming from the program that prints for SciTE. Look in
your config files for something that looks like this:
command.print.*=a2ps $(FileNameExt)

It's using a2ps to print your files. It's a2ps that puts those banners
on your printouts.

I don't know a2ps very well, but in the past, I've used the man pages
for a2ps to get the output looking the way I like it to look. I've not
used SciTE in awhile, so I can't offer any snippets to help you with
that. But if I can do it, it can't be that hard to figure out.

Your config files have font and size settings. You can edit those at
the same time.

Hope that helps.
