remove message select printer and automatically print the document with javascript

Question

I'm working in a process of printing documents and found an alternative that is using javascript.

The code is:

 <html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function printpage()
{
   window.print();
   window.close();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="printpage()">
<embed src="pdfhere.pdf"/>
</body>
</html>

If I create a html page and open it with internet explorer, I sent a message to select the printer and print the document. What I want to do is automatically print the document without displaying that message thanks for your help.

what if they don't have a printer and want to print to say a microsoft document or something of that nature — Ronnie, Aug 28 '13 at 22:35

You can't skip the browser print dialog. This is provided by your browser/OS.

window.print() is the best you can do.
