How to print a web page without the print preview

[kitboone]

I am developing a web page which needs to be printed immediately when the user clicks on a button (without popping up the print option window) because the user is allowed to print only one copy of the page. I am implementing the button as an ActiveX control in a web page to enable validation against a database.

I haven't been able to find out how to print a web page directly without the print option appearing, so I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks.
