We all know that it's impossible to do native print in a browser that bypasses the browser's print dialog, however, we have the need to do a direct print, ideally where we could also select a particular printer, and other settings programmatically.
I know that ActiveX plug-ins exist that do this, however, we all know that ActiveX plug-ins only work in IE. Is there an existing plug-in, either in Flash or Silverlight that allows us to programmatically set printer properties and then direct print without opening the browser's native dialog?
A Java solution would be okay too. But clearly, it's not as desirable due to the installed footprint and ease of installation.

Can Adobe AIR be a partial solution? I said partial because you first have to convince/tell people to download your printer AIR app that can basically invoked from browser which is in your case a print command.
AIR has nativeprocess capability so you can either develop your own executables or use any other command line print tools. This might be a good start.
