No cigar though. Any changes made there cause the status to change temporarily from default to user_defined. After printing the current document they revert back to default. It appears that there is no way to modify the default behavior and that the only way to get rid of that idiocy is to compile the browser oneself? IMO it makes a lot more sense from a usability perspective to click once to enable something desired than to have to click seven times to disable something undesired. I always felt that Mozilla/Firefox was the standard to which others should aspire but I fear that I may be seeing signs of pig lipstick...
Mike,
You've probably tried this, but just in case you haven't... :-)
File -> Print... -> Options tab -> Header and Footer
There are two rows of three pull-down option menu boxes that correspond to the six about:config options you already found. You can set any or all to --blank--. Any changes you make should be written to the ~/.mozilla/firefox/<random>.default/prefs.js file when you exit Firefox. It should be owned by <you>.<you> and its access permissions should be 755.
