Make sure you've updated the style sheets, and if necessary clear your
browser's cache.

The style sheets are separate files, and therefore separately cached.
Loading a new page will not have any affect on the cached style sheet.

This problem is known to be caused by old style sheets from the 1.3 beta
versions which don't hide the print footer with the Monobook skin. (The
print footer wasn't displayed on those versions because the code to show
that footer was itself missing.)

There are two ways this can happen: either the old style sheet is still
in the browser cache (or an intermediate cache server), or the file on
the server has not been updated.

Please check and make sure that you replaced all files when upgrading.
Load up stylesheets/monobook/main.css and confirm that it ends with
these lines:

.printfooter {
display: none;
}

It's not my browser's cache, it appears even on pages that are new that I
have created by typeing the name directly into the url. I'm not sure what
you mean by updating my style sheets, I'm using the standard skin with the
style sheets that came with 1.3.2.

Amazing, my stylesheets were cached. I don't know why, but for some reason I
had an aversion to thinking that they could be cached at all. "Cache
stylesheets? Oh come on." I'm glad that's been corrected in my strange,
illogical mind. :)

Thanks.
