Disabling the print

[Nilesh Srivastava]

Hi All,
My requirement is to restrict the user from printing the web page through PRINT button functionality of browser.
Can anyone tell me how to do that.
My aim is to restrict the user from printing the page.There are certain wayz thru which a user can print :
1)Thru PRINT button of broswer
2)Ctrl+C Ctrl+V (I have clue to disable it)
3)Printscreen button of Keyboard(Can be done thru JavaScript)
4)Right Clicking(Can be disabled)
Is there any other way to print the web-page.
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance

Basically the page can be captured many ways from saving it, to copy and pasting, to print screen, to getting it from the temp files, to just writing it out on a piece of paper with a pen and pencil.
Can you block the print button?
try playing with this line of code, it might get your boss off of your back

<link rel="alternate" media="print" href="altpage.htm" />

it's useless to try and block printing. If someone really wants to do it, they will.

Thanks Eric,
It helped me in getting rid of my Boss.It really helped me.
But I still have a doubt.If we can trap the print event like this and fool the user,then the print button can also be trapped for no print and even if user click the print button , no out put will come.
Could u/anyone plz help me in this issue.
Thanks a lot to all of u
