I'm creating an idiot proof quote form for an inside sales team. One of my thoughts had been to have a print button that, when clicked will automatically select the printer (not the default) that they will be using and out put immediately. Is this possible. I'm fairly new at Javascript, but it seems as if this would be possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can specify the name of your destination printer (Windows only). Here is an example taken from the [url=http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf]Javascript for Acrobat API Reference, version 8[/url]:
var pp = this.getPrintParams();pp.printerName = "hp officejet d series";this.print(pp);
