an email link leads to a web page. 
1) Is it possible to have a cgi link on the page which, when clicked,
will not only get a file (from the website), update an internal
counter, but also print the file automatically? It will naturally have
to disallow 'saving' the file .
2)A simpler than above approach would be to have the print button link
to a cgi script, which updates a counter, generates a page (or gets
it) , shows it on the screen and then AUTOMATICALLY prints it (with
the print menu in the file disabled)
3)Is it possible to have the standard file menu buttons disabled (like
download image, save file, print file) with the only way of printing
being a print button on the page WHICH ONLY ALLOWS a print 1 time?

note that I am not asking for the code. just an idea of whether this
is possible and maybe a general direction

Thank you for your questions.
