    Can I control the printer setup parameters from javascript?

    I strongly suspect that this is not possible but I'll ask anyway.

    I want to print a web page from javascript. I can use window.print( )
    no problem but I also want to be able the control margin widths.

    I have a script for printing address labels but it is proving
    difficult to make the addresses appear in the right places.

    Can I also issue a form feed from within the html page? I have tried
    to use char(12) but that seems to be ignored

    TIA

    Bill

    With a third-party control you can. Visit http://www.meadroid.com/ and
    look at:

    "ScriptX: now the de facto printing control for the web, developed to
    provide absolute control over document printing operations from client and
    server computers running Internet Explorer. A subset of ScriptX printing and
    script-enhancement functionality is available at no charge and is freely
    distributable."
