Bluntly put, the answer is you can't. The main reason for this that the
designer of the web page can actually force the browser print frame function
to work differently that anticipated. You may or may not get all three
choices when trying to print a framed web page when using IE or Netscape.
The FRAMESET command as well as Javascript window.print functions can be used
to control the frame printing behavior.
Examples
Look at http://www.culinarypleasures.com/ (non-Javacript)
"All frames individually" will be the default and "As laid out on screen"
will be the other choice. Note that "Only the selected frame" will not even
be allowed.
Looking at this Javascript controlled web page
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/ref
erence/objects/FRAMESET.asp you will get all three choices and "Only the
selected frame" will be the default.
