Can I change how gedit prints its page header?

I'm often using gedit to print text documents. One thing I don't like is that it prints the full path to the document inside the page header, which sometimes overlaps what's in the top right corner; I'd like it to print the file name only.
Can that be done?

The code for this is
return g_file_get_parse_name (location);
in a function
gedit_document_get_uri_for_display:
that would need to be changed and gedit rebuilt or a PR created.

No. This seems to be hardcoded in the source code here.
You can, however, omit the entire page header by deselecting the checkbox Print page headers in the tab Text Editor under section Page header of the printing dialogue.

I'm torn. I'd like to accept both answers because they fit different valid contexts for my question, only one of which I had considered, aka the user standpoint to which there's only configuration files to change applications behaviour. @chris-hill gives a perfectly valid answer for a developer or more-advanced-user. Would you guys mind merging your answers?

Chris Hill copied the content from the link to the source code I provided and explained the usual procedure of a feature request in FLOSS development. If this anwers your question, go ahead and accept it. I don't mind.
