Click a button to print an embedded PDF file without the printing dialog in Internet Explorer (silent print)
I recently helped a friend implementing a button to click, and it sends a hosted pdf to the defaulted printer without the printing dialog in IE8. I googled this about a few dozen pages and finally came across http://stackoverflow.com/questions/975652/silent-print-a-embedded-pdf. So here is the test.html. And due to the ActiveX used, you have to make this page to be trusted or in intranet.

printAll() ??
I am sure there're some other methods to call besides printAll() if you have other requirements.
Thank you, but this only works in internet explorer, do you have a Chrome solution? Edge?
Googled this today (5/11/2017) and found a link to
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/JJNzUxxtMio
talking about a chrome command line option " --disable-print-preview" or "--kiosk --kiosk-printing" (no idea what kiosk is though)
Thank you, for what I have seen in chrome to disable print preview is only possible with the kioske mode, I can not find any way to do it programatically..
