The function window.print() does not accept any arguments so I doubt
that you can print a page without loading it into the browser. In
order to print a page the browser has to render it at some point.
There is no way around the rendering step. There are a couple of
ways you might be able to hide the loading:
1) Load the page in a hidden frame/layer and execute the print()
function from there.
2) Pop a window with the page to be printed. Send the daughter
window to the back/minimize it/move it off-screen. Execute the print
from there.
Again, the browser absolutely has to render the page first before
printing.
