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.

No images at all for me.

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