Printing mulitple tabs without getting Page Setup & Print dialogue boxes

Question

I am using Forms 6.0.5.2. I have a form with 7 tabs and I need to be able to have a Print All button that prints a screen image of each tab. I have tried programming a trigger that executes a GO_BLOCK('a'); print; GO_BLOCK('b'); print; etc etc. While this will work, it is not user friendly as it prompts the user with the "Print" dialogue box (to select which printer to print to) and then the "Print Capture beginning. Don't move or occlude window until done" diaglogue box every time the print command is executed. Is anyone aware of a way to have these dialogue boxes come up only the first time the print command is issued and to be suppressed afterwards?

It's relatively easy to setup a series of questions and capture the results via display dialog, for example:
set bleedVal to text returned of (display dialog "Enter the required bleed:" default answer "0" buttons {"OK"} default button 1)
set bleed to bleedVal
You can even do fancy things like:
set orientationVal to button returned of (display dialog "Enter the required bleed:" buttons {"Landscape", "Portrait"} default button "Portrait")
set orientation to orientationVal
or:
set paperSize to (choose from list {"A3", "A4", "B3", "B4"} with prompt "choose a paper size" default items "A3") as text
set paper size to paperSize
Note that you may want to perform some input validation on the value entered to make sure that users don't enter inappropriate values such as "0" for the enlargement/reduction ratio, or "none" for bleed values, etc.
