NO WAY--*big big big* security hole if you could. (Just imagine, you hit a
porn site while surfing, and your printer starts queuing up all these lists
of other sites to hit.....)
The servlet can, however, render a "printer-friendly" version of the site
for easy printing; a number of online magazines (JavaReport, for one) do
this. Then the user does the usual "File|Print" from the browser's menu.
