How can Print Preview be called from Javascript?

by

You can’t, Print Preview is a feature of a browser, and therefore should be protected from being called by JavaScript as it would be a security risk.

That’s why your example uses Active X, which bypasses the JavaScript security issues.

So instead use the print stylesheet that you already should have and show it for media=screen,print instead of media=print.
