Adding a JavaScript print button is fairly easy. There are plenty of
examples you can Google.

Making the page look good on print is as easy as creating a secondary
CSS for print.

Mark's option of creating a PDF of the page also works. You have the
button create the PDF in a "temp" location and then redirect the user to
the file created.

peace and grace,

And the javascript will be windows.print()

But it will open the Print dialog box, in the same way as when you click
browser's Print command.

That's correct. The OP is looking (IMO) for a way to print directly to
a client-side printer bypassing the print dialog, which is why I
advised him to forget it...

Oops! I guess I did not pay attention to the "I don't want to give my
users a choice" part of the post. ;-)

peace and grace,
