Print Screen Opens on Page Immediately - How do I stop it?

Question

Hi,
First I'd like to thank blarman74 and Andy because I worked off of the information on this thread:
Autoprint Print Friendly Page
Autoprint Print-Friendly Page
I created a Button: URL call to javascript:PrintPopup()
I put this code in the report's HTML Header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function PrintPopup () {
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:2004:&SESSION.::::::YES';
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=900,height=1000");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
And in the report's Region Footer I put this code:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.print();
</script>
Now, here is the problem. When I first open page 2004, the print screen opens immediately. I have to close it before I can see page 2004. Then I click the button with the URL call and the printer friendly page opens with the print screen on top. This part is good. That works beautifully.
How do I stop the print screen from opening when I first open page 2004? I figure there is some setting I am missing or perhaps a piece of code somewhere.
Thanks,
Maggie

You could put the winpopup code in the footer of the printerfriendly template.
#FORM_CLOSE#</body>
</html>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.print();
</script>
I then have a navigation bar which has:
target type: A page in this application
&APP_PAGE_ID.
And printer friendly check box checked.
You can then print the current page from the navigation bar.
I don't use a button, but essentially you just want your action to be performed when the button is submitted.
