Is it possible in Windows 2008 R2 to be able to right click an HTML link (with IE as default, Chrome doesn't have the "Print" option on the right-click) and completely bypass the printer selection menu and print straight from the default printer?

I tried right-click printing pdf's, various image files, csv's, xls's, etc., all worked fine, printed without the printer selection menu. This only occurs with HTML links.

If you right click on the HTML element that has no Print option and see it's value it will probably empty.

A right-click on the browser is an event which triggers an action based on the context it is called from. If you click on a link tag which has no value itself, you are not going to get a print option in the menu because there is nothing to print. This is a likely scenario, you can also read up on the "Media" HTML attribute. It has a Print option which helps the browser know what stuff is for.
