Web Printing
-
Guys, I ask you as a guy that don't really do web dev. I need a page to print from a web page using the default printer and some specific settings (or the default ones). The requirement is that, because this is a step in a process that must be very efficient, no window pops up (like the printer dialog) and also that printing does not require a new window to be opened. IE 6 will be used exclusively. Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Cheers

AFAIK there is no way to bypass the printer dialogue. You can design the print page usign a print CSS style sheet (with media="print" in the tag) to get rid of any elements that don't need printed (navigation etc.), and the user can then simply use the print button.
