Re: Printing Reports

From what I've read the new PHP printer functions look like they do exactly what I want. Unfortunately they only run on windows. Wonder if this will ever be available to all OS. For now I've got a lot of good ideas from everyone, and I'm on my way to 'having fun'. Thanks loads to everyone... Dan

The print function sets focus on the report and then executes this.print(). The print dialogue box will automatically pop up and the user can select their own printer along with number of copies, etc. If you use HTML you can even set page breaks (in IE5 anyway).

I'd like to stay away from PDF but will use it if necessary. In general, what seems to be the best way to print reports?????? It would be nice when they ask for a report it would brint in the report window that allows them to select the printer, number of copies, print quality etc. Thanks for your help... Dan.
