Printing a specific frame on request

I want to put a button/link in an asp page that will print the frame it's in (and only that frame) automatically. ANY suggestions welcome, but if the view is changed (another page loaded, etc), I need to be able to return to the current "view" without knowing what it looks like (I don't know what layout the "higher level" frames takes on).

A possible solution is to place a button which feeds keystrokes to the browser after the frame got focus. The keys would be CTRL-P, ALT-R, <ENTER> or some such. But how does one do that?

That printed the whole set of frames. Each individually. When I moved the JScript call to an <A href= "JScript:tmt_print"> PRINT </A> tag in the relevant frame, it worked beautifully (printing just the focused frame)! Thanks!

Problem: When I click OK in the popup it prints fine, but when I choose "cancel" it pops up the window _again_ and if I then click cancel again, it gives me a script error! How do I correct this?

The problem is at the following line of code :
WebBrowser1.ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER);
