Print directly in IE without prompting user

[=?Utf-8?B?QmlsbHkgWmhhbmc=?=]

I have a asp.net page, it uses js to print in IE.
It always has the prompting user window appear.

I have tried:

<input onclick="docume nt.all.WebBrows er.ExecWB(6,6)" type="button"
value="Print directly">

<input onclick="docume nt.all.WebBrows er.ExecWB(6,2)" type="button"
value="Print directly">

All didn't work.


For example:

OLECMDEXECOPT_D ONTPROMPTUSER = 2,

How to avoid this prompt window?

Thanks,

Hi

All you can do is to build a separate printer friendly page and onload
use window.print to popup the print dialog...
but avoiding the dialog... not sure if possible ...

Not natively - all modern browsers are designed specifically to prevent this
sort of direct interfacing with client hardware and software, for fairly
obvious security reasons...

RE: Print directly in IE without prompting user

Hi Billy,

As for printing in web page via client script, it is quite restricted due
to browser's security model, it won't allow silent print via script.
Generally, we only have the "window.print() " function to let user
interactively print the current active document in the browser. For those
cases that we need more control over the printing in webpage, we may
consider some rich client approach such as ActiveX control(require the
client-side to allow running of the activex).
