is that a problem? Looking at the source of that page, it seems that it is
coded in it via javascript that the page must open the printing window when
displaying it:

<BODY onLoad="doPrint()" BGCOLOR="WHITE">

where the "doPrint()" call do in the case of Firefox:

function doPrint() {
    if ((browserName=="Netscape")&&(browserVer>3)) {
        window.print();
