Ruby on Rails

It's not really a Rails question, but what you need to add to your page is a JavaScript that calls to window.print(); Just that bit, in a script tag, before the closing /body of the page. But that's only going to work in an HTML page, not in the PDF. I don't know / believe you can / get a PDF to "auto-print" like you can a Web page.
