Is there a way to get firefox to not print all that useful data at the top and bottom of a web page. For me, that oftem makes one web page into two printed pages. There is rarely a good place for the split.

I usually highlight what I want, paste it into libreoffice text file, then print that.

I need images. They are done in a way that I cannot copy easily.

Highlight what you want (including the images) and paste it into a libreoffice text document.
Have you tried it? I get the images too when I do that.

You could use GIMP to grab a screenshot of the window, then save/edit/print it however you want.
Note that FF has a setting to adjust the headers and footers under Print -> Options

If getting a png of your page or a portion of your page is sufficient, using the ScreenGrab Firefox plugin might be an option. I use that tool to grab screen shots when documenting web applications. It means an extra step of first saving the image via ScreenGrab and then printing it via eog (or whatever), but it's an option.
ScreenGrab allows you to either grab the visible area in the browser, the entire page, or a selected region.
As an afterthought, you might also want to check to see what your page settings are. In particular, make sure you're not trying to print A4 if you need Letter or vice versa. They're sufficiently close to make the difference not obvious on screen, but quite obvious when printing.

Right click, select 'save image as ....'
Then double-click the saved image and print.

Hello Michael,
when going to file-print, options tab, there's a section footers and headers. Put it all to blanco. Maybe that's what you're looking for.
Greetings, J.

Alas not: the blanks still take up room. What I want should not be hard.
I suppose that if I went to the effort, I could have done a print to file with custom 8.5" x 12.0" imaginary paper. Cutting off the top and bottom 0.5 inch would likely have given me what I wanted. How easily I could automate the process, I do not know.

Works on some images, but not others.

No images at all for me. Got some html references.

Don't know about ScreenGrab, but screenshot did the trick.

That is something I got right. 'Tis a rodeo I've ridden in before.

In Firefox, try pressing function key F11 = it may give you a better "screen print". F11 also works in some other non-Firefox applications.
Also in FF, function key F5 refreshes the screen. That too, also works in some other applications. My unfortunate M$-using friends says F5 works in IE (ugh!)

Depending on the exact layout of the page/site, I would suggest trying one of the following:
Print Friendly: http://www.printfriendly.com/
Print What You Like: http://www.printwhatyoulike.com/
Readability: https://www.readability.com/
I find that usually at least one of these will do a good job of tidying things up for printing - or saving, for that matter.
Also, you can get Firefox to reduce the margins at top and bottom to quite small (0.1 cm I believe), though you can't eliminate them completely. If you combine that with using Print What You Like to remove unwanted content, you should be able to reduce your page count substantially.
Or, because Print Friendly, for example, lets you convert to a PDF then either save or print, you can then use the options in Acrobat Reader for headers/footers rather than those in Firefox when you actually go to print.

Is it possible to think it may appen.
Or is it possible to run Centos & in VM over Centos 6 32 bits?

You need a 64 bit host to run a 64 bit guest; so no, that won't work.

I recall some time back having run a 64-bit guest on a 32-bit Vbox installed on a 32-bit Centos running on 64-bit hardware.
but that may not be the situation to which the OP refers.

Found it. In this case, I think "printer margins" refers to the non-printable area of a page. Using a custom size was not necessary because CUPS already had a marginless paper size available. That produced more room for the header and footer and I could get the entire page. Something (not A4 vs letter) was not right: the footer was off the page, not that I cared much.
