You can always initiate a print request, simply by going

window.print()

Which will open the print dialogue

Hi !
This code, for example :

<script language='JavaScript'>
function GetOut() {
window.location='my_new_page.htm';
}

window.print();
window.setTimeout( "GetOut()",2000 );
</script>

waits 2 seconds for a print and then goes out automatically.

:) Paweł

Do you mean - how to get past the print dialogue and just automatically start printing?

You can't. Which is just as well, because theoretically you could be sued for doing that. Also bear in mind - how do you know your user has a printer? I don't have one.

I think that you can, with VBScript; I did it with IE4, but don't ask me how; I can't remember
