HOW TO PRINT a subset data FROM A BROWSER to local PRINTER

From Server side: I am using Java Servlet for the application that run on our server. I have make a subset of data available to the browser.


From Client side: Using Internet Explorer browser
I want end user able to click on the html button and the browser will send a subset of data
(not the whole page) to end user default local printer.


The QUESTION is:
How to print a subset data from a browser (without choosing a printer or want to skip the printer selection) to end user default printer?

I do not have a clue on how to make that work.
Would someone tell me how and what to use.

Thanks,

Yoom

i'm not sure how you could do that, but I'd be pissed if i hit a button on a web page and my printer started. Wouldn't it be easier to just output a printer friendly page and let the client decide how to print it.
