In most new browsers, you have a print preview function that you can use to see if you get desired output based on your media:print setup in the css. window.print in Javascript is just to trigger the print function in the browser, and really have nothing to do with how the print looks.

You can't do this. You cannot test if a printer is available or not on the client machine unless you use some browser plugin.
