I have an ASP.Net page. I want to print that page 3 times, 2 copies should carry "COPY WORD, as a watermark".
I have written this code code to print three copies, but it's asking confirmation about the printer.

 $("#btnPrint").click(function () {
                var index = 0;
                for (index = 1; index <= 3; index++) {
                    if (index > 1) {
                        $("#test").css("background-color", "gray");
                        window.print();
                    }
                    else {
                        window.print();
                    }
                }
});

Please Help me.

Quick Answer: It can't be done, with pure js library.

Rather than just telling you that it can't be done I thoght that an explanation of why such an option is not possible would be more useful.

Which print dialog box displays when someone presses the print button in their browser or the Javascript window.print() method runs depends on the operating system and what printers are installed on the computer.

However, you can Set default styles, some CSS, And preferences to the printer:

<style media = "print">
  @import url("css.css");
</style>
