Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to batch printing from the browser

Collapse
Posted by Hamilton Chua on
Yes, we can dictate the software. This printing will be done on
remote sites and will not be accessible to the public - only to
internal personnel.

I have already developed a solution based on
http://www.meadroid.com/scriptx/

It's an active x control that runs on the client side and allows me
to control the paper width, footer headers and page setup of the
document to be printed.

Since it's activex a requirement is using IE4 or higher.

What I do is display the text file in a browser window with the
appropriate page breaks (using CSS) and make a call to the print
funciton on the onload event.

However, I am very welcome to other ideas.

Many Thanks for responding.
