In "plain" javascript this is not possible. Please add more details to your question if you're using some HTML5-ish related API.

You can of course change the layout of the printed page using @media print { ... } in your stylesheets or using media='print' in your link element.

回答3:

You may use flash or Java applets or silverlight to identify the default printer name. It works only if the client has those plugins.

Alternate, You can access it using ActiveXObject(). But a big note: Its IE Specific. It depends on the users of your site. Even VBScript would work for IE browsers.

var oShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
sRegVal = 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Windows\\Device';

var sName = oShell.RegRead(sRegVal)
