Sometimes one ends up with want in one hand and sh*t in the other. Many
people with laptops access the Internet without a printer while away
from the office. Some leave their printer turned off until they need it
for power saving reasons, rational or not.

If it doesn't, was filling out the form a waste of their time? I'd be
annoyed at best if I submitted a form and my printer fired up. That
should be my option, not the websites. At best, I'd offer up the
completed form asking for it to be saved for printing. Or an automated
email confirmation to their email address.
I'll be interested to see if it's possible. I've never had it happen to
me, but Perl, PHP and browser tricks might make it possible for some
people. But deep down, I doubt it.
