Hi!
You can have the print dialog pop up automatically when a page is loaded...
though you cannot actually start the action of the printing.. that would
depend on the client..
how is it done?? I have no clue... cause the webpage which did this is now
down!! .. but u can.. so look harder and u will find out how..
