Printing without confirmation dialog

I'm building a web application that needs to automatically print out a form when a certain page is loaded. I've found a bazillion references to printing without the confirmation dialog, but IE6 with SP2 has closed up that hole.

The good news is that the web page is only ever going to print off on one computer ever and I have access to that computer. I can install anything I want on it and change any preference I want, so this can be a very narrow solution.

So, is there a way that you guys can think of that will let me print without the confirmation dialog? I just tried this technique (http://www.quirksmode.org/js/print.html) on Netscape 6.2.3 and it still gave me the dialog.

The computers are being ordered through Dell, so I'm assuming that XP with SP2 will automatically be installed on them.

You can try this coe:

or you can try opening word and print it from there

Thanks, but that's the same method I had in the above link.

I can't open word. I want the page to load, then for the print job to be automatically sent.

Wow, you're good! I didn't have time to write the actual code at the time and I thought you'd ask for details!!! :-)
