hello,

im guessing the answer is "no", but can a webpage set the printer's
paper size & layout? trying to spare my intranet users some extra
steps.


thanks,
matt

Actually it's yes, but for small values of yes.

CSS 3 does this, but no-one supports it yet. There's also at least one
useful ActiveX (MeadCo's ScriptX) that does it, for the ( Windows / IE
/ ActiveX permitted ) context.
