Hello All, It's good to have this list up again. Thank you, to all involved. Question: Printing a webpage (from the browser) and bypassing the print dialog box. I have a portable survey (laptop) that let's the user print the results...via with windows.print(). By default, when a print request is sent, Windows will present the Print Dialog Box. I want to bypassing that and go straight to the printer. That is, when the user click on 'print', (s)he should not see the dialog box. Instead, the document should be sent directly to printer. Has anyone done something similar? Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm currently looking at using socket connections to connect directly to the printer. However, I'm not fluent in sockets, so I can use some guidance. __________John Monfort_________________ _+-----------------------------------+_ P E P I E D E S I G N S www.pepiedesigns.com "The world is waiting, are you ready?" -+___________________________________+- On Tue, 19 Jun 2001, [iso-8859-1] sunny AT wde wrote: > hi all! > > firstly a BIG thanks to rasmus for bringing the mailing lists back up > :) > > secondly, seeing as there is always a big demand here and lot of > questions asked about available PHP message boards / forums, I > thought I'd point mine out. > > Wrote this one myself, very simple to configure and install.
