Hi list

I'm not sure if this is a JavaScript issue or relates directly to IE5 on =
an NT Server 4.0 operating system:
I have an ASP page that runs a report at scheduled times (but always in =
the middle of the night).  A JavaScript onLoad event then prints this =
report out to a printer on the network.  The problem is that the 'Print' =
dialog box is evoked and halts the entire process until the 'OK' button =
is clicked.  Is there any way that I can force the dialog to be =
suppressed?  The print icon in MS Word does this, but does it mean that =
I have to change some setting in the browser? Or is there some setting =
in the printer driver that needs to be changed (a LaserJet 4050TN)?

Thank
