    This will work for IE only.
    <script>
    function Print() {
    if (document.layers) {
    window.print();
    }
    else
    if (document.all) {
    WebBrowser1.ExecWB(6, 6)
    //use 6, 1 to prompt the print dialog or 6, 6 to omit it;
    WebBrowser1.outerHTML = "";
    }
    }
    </script>
    <object ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH="0" HEIGHT="0"
    CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2">
    </object>

    <body onLoad="Print()">

      I would strongly advise you don't do that, because[list=1][*]How do you know the user even has a printer?[*]Legally ... forcing a print like that without user interaction could be construed as theft (of electricity, paper and ribbon ink)[/list=1]
