Step-by-Step Instructions
-------------------------

1. Create a new form, named frmWeb in Visual FoxPro.

2. Add a command button, named cmdPrint, and an OLEControl, named oleWeb to the
  frmWeb form.

3. Set the OLEControl to use the Microsoft Web Browser control.

4. Add the following code to the frmWeb.Init method:

  ThisForm.oleWeb.Navigate("http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/")

5. Add the following code to the oleWeb.Refresh method:

  NODEFAULT   && Avoids "Unspecified error" on form startup

6. Add the following code to the cmdPrint.Click method:

  #DEFINE OLECMDID_PRINT 6
  #DEFINE OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER 1
  #DEFINE OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER 2
  ThisForm.oleWeb.ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, 0, 0)

7. Run the form.

After the page loads, click the cmdPrint button, and the page prints to the
default printer.
