printing automatically

[Kostas Poulios]

Hi everybody,

Is there any way using JavaScript to print a web page automatically?
I mean whithout bringing up the print prompt box and expect from the user to click "OK" to print the page.
If not is there any way to print a webpage more than once (e.g. twice) with a single press of a button, javascript pop-up ...?

Thanks guys!

I seem to recall this question being posted not too long ago. And the feedback was that it wasn't possible--and probably for good reason!

I'm pretty sure there isn't a way of doing this - and thank god...Instead of Pop-ups we'd have Print-ups!

yeah, I say everybody just "give ups" trying to hit visitors with Pop-ups or Print-ups or who knows what's next ups :)

Popups are just annoying. "Printups" would leave the door wide open to abuse. Why not send the same page to my printer driver 500 times so I have to hunt for the print manager and unplug the printer before I run out of paper?

window.print();

However, I normally have my printer turned off. An error would occur if automatic printing was chosen. ;)

I would then go straight into IE options and Nortons Firewall and block your site, permanantly. :)

Use with care and check with the user first by making them click a link to print.
