disable print dialog window

Hi.

I'm using IE 6.0 for public display of a website (the site is stored locally
on the hard drive). If someone hits the print button, the print confirmation
box pops up. This allows someone to switch printers, number of prints, etc.
I need to find a way to keep this box from popping up and just printing
automatically to the default printer.

Any ideas??

Thank you VERY much.

Hi Scott :-)

You don't mention the version of Windows you are using, but, try the
following and see if it helps:

Double click the My Compute icon on the Desktop>Tools>Folder Options> View
UNcheck "Use simple file sharing (recommended)."
Then go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Printers and Faxes
Right click on the object printer and click Properties>Security tab
You can add a user or group to the printer and then set the permissions for
that User for the printer, in your case, you would likely only want to check
the Print box.

This way they can print to the printer, but, should not be able to make any
changes to the printer settings on the dialog box.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jan.

I'm using Windows XP Home.

I tried your thoughts. I didn't have "use simple file sharing" in the
folder options.

Also, no security tab for my printer.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks again!

Hi Scott :-)

Sorry...the previous message got sent by mistake. Try the following and see
if it will do what you want. But, keep in mind that, unless every user is
going to print only 8.5 documents on plain paper, they may need access to
the printer dialog in order to make necessary printer adjustments.

Try the inforamtion here and see if it will help:

Thanks, but neither helped...

The print server idea (uncheck "notify when remote docs are printed") was
already unchecked.

The registry fix didn't solve it either.

Thanks again for your help. If you have any other brainstorms let me know.
I'll post a solution if I find it elsewhere.

Thanks, Scott. Afraid I'm all out of ideas at the moment, but, hopefully,
someone else here will have a cure for you.
