Simply it is not possible, it's because of some reasons:

  • the user could want to choose a printer himself
  • the user could want to be able to control when his printer gets activated (imagine nasty auto-selfprinting advertisement popups)
  • the user could want to specify printer settings (grayscale or color, resolution, size, ...)

But it is not impossible here are few ways,

  • you could use Firefox to achieve this, where you could change the browser setting to enable what they called "Silent Printing", you should set it to "Always" and you'll be good.
  • In IE you can use VB script to achieve this.
