Yeah, you can probably do it with an OCX but the client will need to accept it so you won't be able to do anything without them knowing.

found it!!!!

I don't know if this works on the internet but it surely works on our intranet

the code is very simple

First you set the registry when you load the page.
********************************************************
<SCRIPT ID=clientEventHandlersVBS LANGUAGE=vbscript>
<!--
Sub window_onload
Dim WshShell
Set WshShell = CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot
WshShell.RegWrite &quot;HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Print_background&quot;, &quot;Yes&quot;, &quot;REG_SZ&quot;
End Sub
'***********************************************************
'then you put everything back as it was and nobody is hurt
'***********************************************************
Sub window_onunload
Dim WshShell
Set WshShell = CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot
WshShell.RegWrite &quot;HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Print_background&quot;, &quot;No&quot;, &quot;REG_SZ&quot;
End Sub

-->
</SCRIPT>

Hope this my help others as well.
