printing - Possible to force printer setup (paper size) in javascript?

Question

I have a need to print pages from a web app on to 8" x 4" index cards. IE doesn't save print settings from one print to the next, so is there a way to programmatically force the print set up?

Look at this CSS3 examples from http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-page/#size:

/* style sheet for "A4" printing */
@media print and (width: 21cm) and (height: 29.7cm) {
     @page {
        margin: 3cm;
     }
}

/* style sheet for "letter" printing */
@media print and (width: 8.5in) and (height: 11in) {
    @page {
        margin: 1in;
    }
}

/* A4 Landscape*/
@page {
    size: A4 landscape;
    margin: 10%;
}
