Hi, Paresh.  This is more of a Netscape issue than an OfficeJet issue.  I
don't know offhand of a way to disable the print dialog box, but I seem to
recall that Netscape used to provide some sort of customization kit for
sites that wanted to lock down their browser interface, for example to
prevent entry of arbitrary URLs.  You could try searching around on
http://www.netscape.com to see if they still offer this kit, but in any
case, you could always just hack the source code to Mozilla
(http://www.mozilla.org), the open-source descendant of Netscape.
