How can I pre-define a printer when printing from web page

[Bewenched]

We have an internal intranet and we print alot of files from it and I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to specify a particular printer without having to select them in the printer selection pop-up from IE?

example.. we have some pages that should go to the sales department printer and some that should go to the shipping department. Can I specify a printer programatically?

I don't think it is possible to do without a plugin of sorts (like ActiveX, etc). By default a webpage is not allowed access to such client information as a security precaution.

However you can probably find a plug-in to help make it work... Not sure... But I would guess there is one.

It is (I once heard) possible to do so by creating a dll with C++

Sorry no further info.
