You can generate a PDF under PHP control, and print that from the browser. Often overlooked as a printing solution is Flash 4 or 5. If you create a Flash movie (.swf file) that represents the form, you can pass in variables and then use the built-in printing capabilities of the Flash player. I've used this for kid-oriented web sites with lots of graphics and it works nicely. YMMV. - Tim > A customer wants data from an html form printed on a local printer.
