Answer 1

If you want to disable printing of your webpage you're wasting your time: it can't be done. Even if you work out how to capture CTRL-P users can still use the browsers menu bar to find the print command, or they can take a screen shot of the browser.

Stop trying to control the user, put your energy into making your site / app more useful, not less useful.

edit 2016: in the 3 years this has been up it has gathered 3 downvotes. I'm still not deleting it. I think it is important to tell fellow developers when they are given impossible tasks, or tasks that make no sense.

edit 2018: still think it's important that people that have this question read this answer.
