printing

I am trying to create an application to print documents over the web. I have created my document, and made a web page with a meta refresh tag, along the lines of this:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;http://example.com/download.epl2" />

I specify that the document has a content-type of application/x-epl2, and I have associated .epl2 files on my computer with a program that silently sends them to the printer.

I have put the website into my trusted sites zone.

Currently Internet Explorer pops up the "Open, Save, Cancel" dialog box with no option to automatically open the file.

Is there a setting in IE6/7/8 that I can use to have IE just open the file without prompting?
