Is there any way to print an e-mail from Microsoft Outlook that has a gmail logo at the top of it?

Asked by jamms (609points) January 16th, 2011

Version of outlook or operating system, mac or windows is not relevant. The short story is if a user was using POP3 and not leaving messages on the gmail servers, but managing to print a message from inside of outlook that has a gmail logo on the top of it, is that even possible?

screen grab it, or copy the logo and paste it on later.

Thank you. That was my presumption. The format of the e-mails I received was exactly the same as what you would get printing a message from the gmail web interface, minus the url you would normally see at the bottom of the page. I was told that it was from outlook. If anyone has any other ideas of how to accomplish that I’d be happy to hear them.

That is nothing more than a printer setting having the URL or not. Go to print options, and take out headers and footers. Many large businesses do this by default and push it via policy, because it saves on ink. I know we do at my work. We also force users to print double sided to save paper, but that has nothing to do with your question.

File-> Print Preview -> Page Setup -> Margains Headers & Footers ->

By default the header has Title and URL and the footer has Page # of # and Date/Time

Many companies make it all blank blank blank so none of that prints. As do many copy shops. Saves on ink. Also looks better too not having that crap.

That would make sense if the mail was coming from a webpage. My question is can you add that to Outlook before printing. The best example I have would browse be this. Print an email from Outlook and gmails website. Ideally you would print the same email both places. Now take the Outlook message, change the format so that it has the gmail logo, same headers and format, no url at the bottom and get that to print from Outlook. I can’t figure out how to do this. I think its not possible. I need to make that argument in court so I’m checking around to make sure there isn’t something I’m missing.
