Can I select a particular printer using Javascript?
There is no DOM standard object reference to system printers and therefore no Javascript or ECMA script application programming interface for selecting amongst available printers. The basic DOM level 0 function for printing is window.print(), which should raise a print dialogue. Whether users have any printer attached to their computer, decide to choose amongst them and to commit the print job is outside the control of Javascript. It would be a security hazard if Web page scripts could arbitrarily control computer peripherals and expend paper and ink without user intervention.
