For your information I had a long discussion with Jerry Mead, the writer of 
ScriptX about how to do this and the conclusion was it cannot be done. This 
is given the fact you only want to use components already on the system.
The only thing I could think of would be to change default printer settings 
via registry and then start a new instance of IE in a different process 
space using WScript.Shell. You could then grab this instance and automate it 
to print your page.
