Hi Dan,

I can't speak for other Browsers, but MSIE can automatically open the Print
Dialog - but the user still has to click 'Print'.

<body onload="window.print()">

Also, I dug out this old post of mine from the Witango-Talk Mail Archive at
Ben's site: http://www.witango.ws

"what I often do is have MSIE call
an alternate TAF function that presents the contents of the currently
displayed page - but with printer friendly formatting, minus buttons and
other controls. The following are some code samples to do this with.

<link id="prntLnk"
rel="alternate"
media="print"
href="tangofile.taf?_function=print&recordKey=<@arg recordKey>" />

The 'link' element is particularily interesting. If MSIE (and some other
browser?) finds this element present, then the print function will print the
'href' URL instead of the page shown in the browser."

Hope this helps. Cheers...
