On Mac there is a standard API for doing that. But AFAIK on Linux/Unix the way to do it depends on the type of desktop and file manager (KDE, Gnome, etc) that you have installed. In all cases, the browser has to integrate with the framework used. Also I thought you were talking about printing, not just viewing as HTML. That requires that the HTML browser is correctly setup for printing. Finally while most desktop systems probably implement automatic printing in their framework, experience shows that applications often don't implement that feature or don't implement it correctly. So I expect that in a lot of cases the user still has to select the print menu himself in the browser. benny
