[SOLVED]How can you send multiple items to printer?
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2005 6:28 pm
Personally i don't think this is possible but since the Boss wants it like that i would have to exhaust all possiblities.
Lets say i have 2 items from the database and there are 2 types of view. A LIST view, which just list each item in a row with a check box in front AND a DETAIL view which is more information on each individual items presented on its own page.
Example of LIST view
Example of DETAIL view
If you have the DETAIL view on the screen its easy to have to sent to the printer by javascript or just clicking print on your browser.
The question here is when you are in the LIST view, how can you check the 2 things and click on the Print button on the browser and have both items sent to the Printer in their DETAIL view?
The server where this resides is in some Datacenter where the printer is in the office, they aren't in the same Intranet so you can't use PHP's printer module.
Appreciate any help i can get.
