The answer for Chrome: no. The answer for Firefox: yes. There is a <xul:command> element in the browser window with id cmd_print. Attach a listener for the command event to it and it will be called whenever the user invokes that menu item or presses Ctrl-P. There is also a similar element with id Browser:SavePage.

Thanks. you have any idea about IE? – hjindal May 30 '12 at 06:34
No, I know nothing about IE helper objects. It is generally not a good idea to mix questions about completely different browsers in one question - only few people know all of them. – Wladimir Palant May 30 '12 at 07:24
