I would assign bookmarks to the items that you do not want to be printed and then use a macro that formats the font in the range of the bookmarks as hidden when you do not want them to print:
With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("logo").Range.Font
If .Hidden = True Then
.Hidden = False
Else
.Hidden = True
End If
End With
You should set up the text of letter head inside a borderless table with fixed row height to that the area assigned to the letter head remains unchanged.
Hope this helps.

Is there anyway to choose whether or not Word prints the Header containing the letterhead? Sometimes I want to turn off the header when printing on my preprinted stationary. But normally, I want it displayed when printing to plain paper or creating
a PDF.
The only way I've found is to use*Page Layout --> Selection Pane*, then click the eye icon next to each individual element you want to remove. The reason this isn't a good solution is because Word removes the picture from the document instead of just making
it invisible. Thus, once you hide the graphics the document text moves into the empty space (where the pre-printed letterhead will be), changing the format of the document. I have to put an invisible rectangle shape behind the header elements and wrap
text above and below it to keep the spacing intact. Thus, I am then prevented from using "Hide All" as it will remove this rectangle as well. So every time I need to print to pre-printed letterhead I have to unclick each and every letterhead
element, print, then click them all visible again.
Is there a simpler way of doing this?
