920540 - Print Footer: Can't print date without time (Regression/Feature Request)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 231068

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Doug]

In printing webpage, there is no option to print current date in the footer without also printing the time.  Would like to be able to customize to print only the date (and maybe even to print date in long and short forms).

This is a regression/missing feature.  Prior versions of Mozilla had this feature, and current version of IE makes it the default.

Would like: to be able to "print" with a footer that just has the date, i.e., "9/25/2013"

Instead Mozilla does:  only offer option to print date with time, i.e., "9/25/2013 10:15 AM"  This is true even when I use a "custom" footer with the option " &D ".

Which prior versions?

I believe every version of Mozilla that I used under WinXP, at least within the last couple of years.  I always have kept the date and dropped the time off of footers, never been a problem before.
