JavaScript for making sequential number field generate new number on printing

Question

Can you tell me how to edit this script to generate the new number upon printing? Currently it changes on saving and opening.

var f = this.getField("Tracking Number");if (f.value=="") f.value = "0001";else f.value = util.printf("%04d", (Number(f.value)+1));

Thank you!
