Or if you want something cross browser and not quite so drastic:
<style type="text/css">
@media print {
BODY { display: none !important;}
}
</style>

It is still easily defeatable, but should be effective in persuading users
to go elsewhere.

Well it is not that I want users to go elsewhere, just that this page
will have a big report on it and I don't want them to print the who;e
thing, about 50 pages worth. I rather they use the View by date
option I have set up and only print the date(s) that they want.

But I did try this:
<style type="text/css">
@media print {
BODY { display: none !important;}}
</style>
And it had no effect. I was still able to do a file print.

Why would you care what your users print? It's their paper.

You will find that it does have an effect if you click the print
button on the dialog (i.e. it will print a blank page.)

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
