How to automaticly print from the web
I know this has been asked, but I have researched this and found that either the links are old and not valid any more, or I simply don't understand them.
I built an Web application that I would like it to print to a printer after the user clicks on a recieve button. So when the user recieves in a item, the application does it's thing to the database, then I want a label to come out of the printer, with little or no other user interaction. I have heard of a javascript that pops up the print dialog box for you on a page. I am looking to see if I can go beyond that, and have it print automaticly. It is a intranet site with IE 6, on a coldfusion server. Any ideas, good links, advice, or examples?
What I was thinking was the application to pop up a single window with only the information I want to print and it prints it automaticly and then close
I have everything working except for the print part. I know what I need to print, which by the way is a small table with some fields. This will be a specific single user feature to print, but I would like to keep this on the web, instead of building another interface(ie Access with VBA coding). Thanks in advanced.

Thanks everyone for your replies, sorry I was directed to do something last week. I will be testing everyone's ideas, and then hopefully award points. Again, thanks
Pop ups are bad enough, imagine if a website could print without permission by the user? Imagine the spam!
