Printing A Word Document With A Hyperlink

Is there a way to have a link in an HTML page - that when you click the link:

Hello Caroline

Is there a way to have a link in an HTML page - that when you click the link:
a document gets printed?

before speculating too much: you are talking about a "link" in an HTML
file, on a web or intranet server? Or in a document itself?

In the first case, well, sure, this is possible with some JavaScript.
The main question is: _where_ should the document be printed? On a
predefined printer the server has access to? That should be rather easy
for a web programmer. On any printer the client has access to? That's a
lot more tricky, I'd guess.

In the second case: version of Word?

Thanks, Robert

I will try to explain.

It is a HTML page created by Word, Excel or other program (intranet).

We would like to be able to click (one click, if possible) on the page that
has been hyperlinked to print to the users default printer. (rather than the
page openning when we click on the link)

I hope this helps?

Thanks,

CarolineM

Hi Caroline

has been hyperlinked to print to the users default printer. (rather than the
page openning when we click on the link)

I don't think it can be done in Word (when the page is later on saved as
HTML). I'm pretty certain it can be done in HTML, but then it would have
to be added later on.

OTOH, if a user cannot print a page to his local printer without a
direct link to it (given we're talking about a normal environment in a
typical browser) -- I'd strongly suggest hiring another user. ;-)

better off asking in another newsgroup dealing with HTML.
