Newbie question - printers

[Bruce Holt]

If I want to make sure a document gets printed to a specific MS Windows
printer, no matter what the default printer is, can I? Basically
(rewording), is it possible to select a known MS Windows printer via
JavaScript in an HTML document? If so, how?

Not in a normal security environment - in IE with extra security
priviliges you can use ScriptX from http://www.meadroid.com/ to give
you the control you want.

Perhaps in conjunction with an activex component, otherwise: no because all
that window.print() does is triggering the printer dialogue.
