Getting all nodes between the current node and another without current()?

I'm working on a Greasemonkey script which needs to operate on each node between two others. Currently, I'm getting the first node using an (increasingly-complicated) XPath expression.

Is there a way to disable the printing of the additional header and footer information in Firefox?

We were using htmldoc but unfortunately it does not support UTF-8. I tried using the Mozilla Firefox command-line printPDF extension but it placed the URL on the upper right of every page of the PDF which unfortunately isn't acceptable because these files are client-facing.
