dotnet jscript : newbie question about JavaScript print function

If I'm in the wrong newsgroup, I apologize and would appreciate a suggestion
where I might find my answer.

I want to use javascript for a single routine that (1) defines a range of
pages to be printed, then (2) sends the Print command, bypassing the printer
driver
software. Is this possible?

I am a tech writer, not a programmer, so my experience in this is limited.
We do use .js files in our html help and some odd lines of jscript here and
there, but I need some hand-holding if anyone has the time and
inclination...

Thanks in advance for any help,
Gay Alson

as far as i know javascript is a high level scripting language interfacing
through your internet browser, IE. it prints the way your browser does. I
maybe wrong but believe what your asking is not possible.

You can do this like this:

<html>
<head><title>Example page</title></head>
<body onLoad="document.print()">
HTML-content
</body>
</html>

But it's quite easier to click file>>print...>>ok
