For IE browsers  the  VBScript solution  works   But as mentioned by  purefusion at Bypass Printdialog in IE9  Use Print   rather than window print

I don t believe this is possible  The dialog box that gets displayed allows the user to select a printer to print to  So  let s say it would be possible for your application to just click and print  and a user clicks your print button  but has two printers connected to the computer  Or  more likely  that user is working in an office building with 25 printers  Without that dialog box  how would the computer know to which printer to print

This should work  I tried it by myself and it worked for me  If you pass True instead of false  the print dialog will appear   this print false

this print false     I tried this in Chrome  Firefox and IE  It works only in Firefox and IE  it uses the default printer  with default print settings  and only works when I render a PDF  I use Foxit Reader with Safe Reading Mode disabled   Chrome shows the print dialog  also the other browsers when I render an HTML page

AttendStar created a free add-on that suppresses the print dialog box and removes all headers and footers for most versions of Firefox   https   addons mozilla org en-US firefox addon attendprint   With that feature on you can use    img   jqprint    and jqprint for jquery will only print that image automatically called from your web application

IE9 no longer supports triggering the Print   VBScript by calling window print   like IE7 and IE8 do  and thus window print   will now always trigger the print dialog in IE9   The fix is pretty simple  You just need to call Print   itself  instead of window print   in the onclick event    I ve described the fix in more detail in an answer to another question  with a working code example sporting slightly updated HTML syntax  as much as possible while still tested as working code    You can find that sample code here   Bypass Printdialog in IE9
