print preview can it be done?

[1DMF]

I've been hunting for a way to open the print preview dialog box, printPreview(); doesn't work!

I also found this

function printme(OLECMDID)
{
//var OLECMDID = 10;
/* OLECMDID values:
* 6 - print
* 7 - print preview
* 8 - page setup (for printing)
* 1 - open window
* 4 - Save As
* 10 - properties
*/
var PROMPT = 1; // 1 PROMPT & 2 DONT PROMPT USER
var WebBrowser = '<OBJECT ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2"></OBJECT>';
document.body.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeEnd', WebBrowser);
WebBrowser1.ExecWB(OLECMDID,PROMPT);
WebBrowser1.outerHTML = "";
}

but that gets blocked by the browser as a dangerous activeX component.

Is it possible to open the print preview window?

Unless newer browsers support this, I think the only way to do this is to create a browser plug-in that the user would have to install on their computer. I looked, but couldn't find any mention of Print Preview functionality added to JScript for Internet Explorer 7. Maybe Firefox...
