Is there a way to prevent a user from printing a webpage?

Preventing, no, but making it harder, yes:

don't show it to them.

you can make it harder, like write an active/x control that displays the
page, hooks into the o/s to stop print screen, etc. but running vmware will
get around this also.

No. You can make it more difficult for them, but nothing will stop a person
from actually printing the page if they want to.

Ha ha ha... yes you can, it's called a root kit. I wouldn't suggest it
though. For a usuable response, I agree with those who have offered
suggestions already, that's exactly what i would have suggested.
