#127: How can I print url/html file using IE browser?

today I want to show how you can activate printing of any url and/or html file using installed IE.

I solved this task yesterday and solution is very useful and have a small size:-)

uses ComObj;

procedure PrintHTMLByIE(const url: string);
const
  OLECMDID_PRINT = $00000006;
  OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER = $00000002;
var
  ie, vaIn, vaOut: Variant;
begin
  ie := CreateOleObject('InternetExplorer.Application');
  ie.Navigate(url);
  ie.Visible := True;
  ie.ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, vaIn, vaOut);
end;

Sample:
PrintHTMLByIE('file:\\c:\misha\webpage\index.htm');
or
PrintHTMLByIE('http:\\www.scalabium.com\sme\index.htm');
