Able to switch printers via HTML, Flash, or anything else?

I'm working on converting an inventory management app from desktop to a web-app. The desktop开发者_如何学Go app generates multiple formats of printouts:

• mailing labels to a Dymo printer
• general 8.5 x 11 printouts
• and thermal receipt printouts to a Star printer (usually 72mm wide x 200mm long)

Half the solution to ensure accurate printing is to generate PDFs; however, is there a way to change printers on the browser/client side through a web page? I'd like it to be as cross-platform as possible.

I don't think it is, but I'd like to reach out to developers smarter than I am!

Thanks, Denis

you can do it in java, but not javascript, and i don't now about flash but i doubt it.
