A Hyperlink to "Print"
Question: How do I write the code whereby when I click on the hyperlink - "print", it will pop up the screen on printer settings without having to go to File -> Print -> printer settings screen.

Answer: The code to produce a "print" hyperlink is an extremely simple call to a javascript function.
<a href="#" onclick="window.print();return false;">print</a>
That's all there is to it, the window.print() command opens the printer settings screen when someone clicks on the link and return false makes sure the href= gets ignored. The href is set to the top of the current page just in case someone accesses the page with a browser that doesn't support Javascript or with Javascript turned off.
If you prefer a button rather than a hyperlink then that's easy too. It looks like this:
and you code it like this:
<form><input type="button" value=" Print this page " onclick="window.print();return false;" /></form>
