I know that there are probably better forums to post this question on, but I thought I'd start with Pistonheads!

If I have a list of links to 4 or 5 html documents, can I create a button or link on that web page that will send the list of links, plus the five web pages they link to, to the default printer?

thanks

Presumably I can do this with vb script though?

It depends where the default printer is. If it's a printer the server can "see" then I guess you could vbscript it up.

You could (and I'm thinking out loud, without having written the code), open each document in turn using JavaScript, call window.print() which will bring up the Print Dialog box (so not totally seemless) and then close the window. Do this for each html page you wish to print.
