No. A window opened using
target="_blank"has no programmatic connection to the page it was opened from.If it was opened with
window.openthen the return value of that call would be a reference to that window, so you could use that to get to theprintmethod (subject to the same origin policy).That said, I can’t think of any reason to do this that would not be better served by a print media style sheet.
