Perhaps you're right. You sure need a printer to print of course, although you cannot check for that either, even with client side scripting. But what about the mailto-pseudo-protocol then? If you have no configurated email client installed on the system you're working on then that won't work either. Perhaps a solution would be for user agents that don't have a print feature to hide these print links or, even better, to provide a way to print to file. cheers, Sander
