Well, tough. The user selected print, and should not be shocked when
a print options dlog appears. The vast, vast, overwhelming majority
of users have printed *something* at some point, and are not put off
by a print dlog. Those that are will have to learn eventually, so why
write coddling code? That's on par with wanting to install pads on
everything in the universe on the grounds that careless people who
bump into things will get hurt. Rather than padding the universe it
makes infinitely more sense to allow those few to run into stuff
until they learn how not to stub their toes. Inconvenience a few
rather than the majority.
Put another way I think you're worrying way too much about something
utterly trivial.
