[Javascript] Print without confirmation

[Peter Brunone]

	"you", as in not really you, but something/someone presumed to
be you?

	This is for an intranet application that requires many pages to
be printed on command, and rather than ask for confirmation each time,
we thought it would be nice for the user to just click one button.

	It's IE only, it's not widely used, and like everything else
(e.g. closing the browser without confirmation), if people use it
without telling you, chances are you won't visit their site again, so it
has a built-in limiting mechanism.  Case in point:  this solution has
been around since at least IE 4.0, but you don't see a gazillion sites
using it :-)

I can't sat how disappointed I am to find out 'you' can make my printer
eat toner and paper without me (browser visiting your site) having a way
to say no. This strikes me as a major security problem.

Peter, glad you found an answer to your problem though.

Yes, it only works in Windows IE.
