Printing Gmail emails without the logo (Chrome)

Those of you who use Gmail and print emails from time to time are probably tired of printing the Gmail logo in the top left corner:

Gmail is an excellent service, but it doesn’t include any option to print without the logo. However, there’s a simple trick to remove the logo and any other elements you don’t want to print.

First, open the message you want to print. Click the print icon or choose Print from the menu. A screen like this will appear:

Cancel the print job by clicking the Cancel button. We need to remove the logo before launching the print.

Next, right-click on the logo and select Inspect element.

A new pane will open at the bottom of the screen showing the source code. In this pane we can manipulate the web page content in real time. In this case, the line corresponding to the logo will be selected automatically. Right-click that line and choose Delete node. 

The logo will disappear, and you can print the email normally—now without the logo.

This method lets you modify any page to save or print it the way you want.
