I feel for you, I did a kiosk that had to print without the print dialog, What I had to do is go to the printer manufacturer and get them to write a print driver that didn't pop up the print dialog. there was no other way to do it and keep the formatting of the page.
another way around it is to write a printing app in C++ or any other language that allows you to bypass the OS print system control and send your info to it with an open command you will have to write the data to an external file to do this. The final way is to use the master app xtra and try to track down the print dialog and send the OK message to it. This usually doesn't work to well because the print dialog usually halts director.
