window.print with no print dialog prompt

Steven

Hi all,

Is it possible to do an ie print from javascript that does not bring
up the print dialog? I'm in a situation where i need to load a
sequence of files into a browser and print all of them without any
user interaction.

Thanks!

with neptune from the same folk)

Obviously this is in a secured environment, as Ivo noted.

Can be done, without insecurity; but not AIUI by javascript on a normal
page.

Write, in your favourite HLL, code to issue the necessary HTTP requests,
collect the files, and print them.

To print them : either write your own HTML renderer, with possibly a JS
interpreter ; or merge them into one long page and print that manually
with a browser (problem with page break, soluble perhaps with CSS).

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
