Step 3: When the Print-Edit editor appears, you'll notice that some of the ad images have already been removed, but the placeholders are still there. To remove it and any other element on the page, click on sections of the page you don't want, then click the "Delete" button.

Step 4: When you've got the page looking exactly the way you want, click the Preview button. If you like the way it looks, click Print and you're done.
