I think the idea is that the form is supposed to be printed and faxed in, but only after it's been completely filled out. If that's the case, what I'd do is have an HTML "Print" button on the form itself (that button would not show up on the print-out). When they click it, you'll validate that the form has been printed and alert them if not. If it does validate, then the print dialog shows up allowing them to print the page. Granted, this won't stop them from right-clicking to print, but if I see a big print button on the page itself, I'm gonna click that instead of right-clicking to print. I don't know what the form looks like, but assuming there are text boxes, you may have the problem of the entire field not showing up [i.e., if the field is 25 characters wide, with a maxlength of 30, then a 30-character entry will be cut off. In that case, I'd have the print button, validate as I said, then go to a form processing page that displays the data they filled out, and onload do a print() call. Those are just some options. Of course, life would be easier if there was an onprint() method, but I don't think there is.
