In IE, AFAIK you can use the window.print() command

Ok, it sounds like you want to make a seperate stylesheet just for printing. That would be
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"media="print" href="print.css" />
, print.css being the filename.

yes, that's right. but what code should i put on print.css ? i want to setup the margins, header and the footer for my paper. because if we use the default page setup from IE, it put the title of the page as the header n the url as the footer and the margins are too high, it will consume the space of my paper. my clients only want to print the information on 1 page so i would like to free some space. thank you for the responds lallous n nevel
