Force 'headers and footers' to be on or off in the printing dialog. If you don't configure this policy, users can decide whether to print headers and footers. If you disable this policy, users can't print headers and footers. If you enable this policy, users always print headers and footers.

Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge HKCU
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: PrintHeaderFooter
Enabled: PrintHeaderFooter = 1
Disabled: PrintHeaderFooter = 0
Export Builder
BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
