A web page, by definition, does not have any access to your PC.&nbsp;&nbsp;So, you can't define your own functions, for example, to spool the page directly to the PCs spooler.&nbsp;&nbsp;For a start, it might not even be a PC that is looking at your page.<br><br>This leaves you with the print functions offered by the browser.&nbsp;&nbsp;The person viewing your page can select &quot;File/Print...&quot;, or press the &quot;Print&quot; icon, and the page is printed.&nbsp;&nbsp;The closest you can get to this on a web page may be to create a button that calls some Javascript to access the browser's print function. <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>--<br>
