Print Page from IE without Prompt
This code should send a page straight to the printer without prompting the user. It worked in IE6, but I don't know about IE7. I am sure there are some security concerns with it.
NOTE: I don't know where I found this code so if someone needs attribution or it violates a copyright or something, let me know.
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function ieExecWB(intOLEcmd, intOLEparam)
{
var WebBrowser = '<OBJECT ID="PrintBrowser" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2"></OBJECT>';
document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd', WebBrowser);
if ( ( ! intOLEparam ) || ( intOLEparam < -1 ) || ( intOLEparam > 1 ) )
{
intOLEparam = 1;
}
PrintBrowser.ExecWB(intOLEcmd, intOLEparam);
PrintBrowser.outerHTML = "";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p><a href="javascript:ieExecWB(6, -1);">print</a></p>
</body>
</html>
