Re: control Printer with PHP

Nothing server-side can control a user's printer, I'm pretty sure: And PHP is running on the server, and never really sees the user's computer. It just spews out HTML (or whatever) to the browser. There *might* be some JavaScript hack that could *maybe* do this, but I wouldn't count on it actually working on many people's computers -- Probably would crash a lot of 'em, especially any that didn't have printers... But I think I have seen some "Print" buttons on some web-sites. Gotta be JavaScript, almost for sure. So you could probably modify that to happen onLoad() at the end of the HTML. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tibbar" <tibbar@tibbar.com> Newsgroups: php.general Sent: Friday, January 05, 2001 8:26 PM Subject: [PHP] control Printer with PHP > By any chance PHP can control the printer?
