Disable Printing from the internet

| Can someone please help me.
I am a Photographer and I post photos on my website.
I need to know how to disable all viewers from being able
to print off of the internet.
Although, I place my copyright stamp on the picture and
reduce the resolution on 'em so that if they are printed
it looks muddy, I'd still feel more confortable if I can
block viewers from saving and printing my images from the
internet.
Thank's very much for your help.

| It's pretty much impossible. Don't post your pictures on the internet is the
best solution.
Basically, the user's browser needs to be able to download the pictures in
order to display them. Once the pictures are on the user's computer (which
the user controls, and you don't), they can do whatever they want with them.
Cheers

Drive around to all viewer's homes and steal their printers.

You can't. If you don't want images out there, don't place them on a
web site. If you want all the arguments to prove this to yourself,
use Google or post in a client or HTML group. IIS has no security
function for protecting images on web sites.
