Disable Printing in Internet Explorer

Is there a way to disable printing in Internet Explorer without writing a shell around the browser API? A GPO would be the best method, but I'm certainly open for anything.

There are registry settings to do so. For example.

What are you trying to prevent by disabling printing? If you're trying to stop them from printing stuff and taking it home, there's a couple different ways around that, without printing. Including

  1. Copy and paste to Word
  2. Screen Shots
  3. File -> Save As
  4. Look through the cache files and grab it from there.

This is a difficult one, but in order to block printing, at least the content but not the paper, on a previous project of mine, I used the following:

<style type="text/css" media="print">
    body {
        display:none;
    }
</style>

When they print the page, it is blank.
