Normally, you can print a webpage by just using the menu File - Print of your browser. This kind of printing method will print everything, including the advertisement which you don't need at all. However, you may copy the webpage first, then paste it on a word processor like Microsoft Word. After that, remove the advertisement and other elements that you don't want to print. This is usually done to get a neat document and also to save ink and paper.
