I am trying to disable the print dialog box so that a page can print directly from a javascript "print" command. How can I disable the print dialog box so that it will print automatically?

For computers under your control?

Or, any computer that is using your application or webpage?

You can try creating a new boolean preference - print.use_native_print_dialog - and set it to false and see it that still works. That pref was removed from about:config a number of versions ago, but the underlying code might still be present, so give it a try.

Didn't work. It looks like this is a Mac issue, not Firefox.
