ActiveX is software components from Microsoft. They enable sound, Java applets and animations to be integrated in a Web page.
It makes interactive web pages that look and behave like computer programs, rather than static pages. ActiveX controls may be used with Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser to interact with web pages. ActiveX controls provide functions similar to Java Applets.

Presumably so he can control the printout of a web page from within the page itself (rather than going through the print options of the browser - would be easier to configure for multiple users from an it point of view). I'm sure it could be done, but I'm not not entirely sure it woyuld be worth the effort, especially as it forces the users to only use internet explorer...
p.s. ActiveX are not software components from Microsoft, they are components that work in Microsoft browsers. Anyone can write them

Is there an echo in here
Seriously though, they are best avoided where possible. It ties you to internet explorer, and because there are many malicious activex components out there on the web, most companies do not allow them to be installed on work machines just in case. They offer very low level access to the computer hardware, and so they can do no end of damage in the wrong hands...
