I tried to use the sample code to print a webpage via ie and I get the
following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ie.ExecWB(win32com.client.constants.OLECMDID_PRINT ,
win32com.client.constants.OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPT USER)

NameError: name 'win32com' is not defined

I have the win32com module installed and I clicked on makepy.py and selected Microsoft Internet Controls (1.1). The code was:

from win32com.client import Dispatch
from time import sleep
ie = Dispatch("InternetExplorer.Application")
ie.Visible = 1
ie.Navigate("http://www.cnn.com" <http://www.cnn.com%22>)
if ie.Busy:
sleep(2)
# print the current IE document without prompting the user for the
printerdialog
ie.ExecWB(win32com.client.constants.OLECMDID_PRINT ,win32com.client.constants
.OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER)
Why am I getting this error?

I don't know why this is happening, so I recommend posting it to the
pywin32 group: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32

You might also check out the PAMIE project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pamie

SendKeys would also work, but it's kind of messy.
