I want to put a print button on a web page where an excel file will print to
my printer after the user fills out their information. My printer's name is
\\mul30\HP5
I tried putting a send link on the page with it hyperlinked to the printer
name but it wouldn't work.
thanks

When you elect to print a page, the local print applet will fire up. That's
where you select which printer you want.
 
It would if your printer were the only one accessable to your computer. If
there are others, however, you would have to set your computer's printer as
the default.

Anyhow, there is no way, from the web, to direct such operations.
 
Your printer would have to be connected to the internet via a public IP address.
