You could do something like this....
<style media="print">
.hideClass {display: none;}
.showClass {display: block:}
</style>
<script>
function printAll(){
document.getElementById("bodyNode"
.className = "showClass"
window.print()
}
</script>
<body id="bodyNode" className="hideClass">
<input type=button value="Print" onCLick="printAll()">

This will print a blank page when they use the print button - you could get even a little more elaborate and print "Please use print button" on the blank page...

I actually just use the <style media="print"> in my menu DIV or TABLE tags and hide them. That way the use can use their print button and I can still control the display...

No - the function only gets called when the user clicks your button - the browser's print button will always allow the user to print the page...
