Well, that was really old way to do it in IE5. You can use more reliable way with our HTMLPrinting.com control we released for IE about 8 years ago ( yep, still works ) - at least you will get templates and control of what and how you will print - suppression of the dialog is 20% of the task, real control of the paper size/orientation, margins, trays, duplex, etc are really necessary - not to mention printer queue management.
