Did you try all the methods on Tim Golden's site? http://timgolden.me.uk/python/win32_how_do_i/print.html I use the one at the bottom for PDFs. I never see a print dialog, but it does leave Adobe running. If you're printing from Internet Explorer, you might look at the PAMIE project. http://pamie.sourceforge.net/ HTH Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
