No, that can't be done... at least not from a CGI script. You can only trigger printing on the client end of things and not the server end. About the best you could do is use some JavaScript in the page to open up the print dialog, but it won't automatically print.
<body onload="window.print()"> You could also run PerlScript client side (assuming everyone has PerlScript installed), or build an ActiveX control. ...But I don't think that is what you were looking for.
