You can't. If you think about it, it's pretty obvious why.

Until fairly recently, browsers didn't know how to render a PDF file on-screen. The browsers used the MIME type of the content to determine that it was a PDF file and looked up any registered "handler" for that type to decode and display the content. In your case, that's whatever you're installed, like Adobe Reader.

Now, just because your printing, this requirement does NOT change. The browser STILL doesn't know how to interpret and render the content on-screen. Printing is just the exact same process, but on a printed page. The content is rendered to a virtual "screen" in a printer driver.
