Web databases and catalog printing

We are in the process of planning in anticipation of moving to a 
web based catalog in the next several months. As a part of this, we 
would like to be able to offer our patrons the ability to print, for a 
fee, the data from the web databases.  Also, we would like to be 
able to enable them to print the catalog citations on local printers, 
which would be free. Of course, the two would be mutually 
exclusive. There would be free printing of catalog citations and fee-
based printing of web databases information.

Has this been implemented by any one else?
If so, how did you make it work?

I understand a product like WinSelect offers the opportunity to lock 
out changing the default printer. Is that possible with multiple 
windows or browser sessions?

Any other comments would be greatfully appreciated.
