TIA

nope, and if you're hoping to control printed output from the browser in
any way other than PDF, save yourself the time and stop now.

Do take a look though at CSS media="print" to control page layout,
margins, and settings for what goes on the printed page. Still can't
control the browser's print setup, though.

That would be

@media print {
/* ... */
}

in CSS. The code you posted is an HTML attribute instead that can be used
as follows:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="..." media="print">
See <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/media.html#media-sheets>
and <http://w3development.de/css/hide_css_from_browsers/media/>.
