Web App to print directly to client printer
Posted: Fri Aug 20, 2010 1:23 pm
Ok... so I just need someone to point me in the right direction.
I have a web app that requires various printing... right now I have resorted to outputing a PDF and then have the tenant print the PDF. This creates a lot of steps. What I want is for the tenant to hit a print button and it prints. I cant have the header and footer that browsers add to the printout.
first off... I know this cant be done with PHP, javascript, or HTML. This is going to have to be some sort of browser plugin that the tenant installs and configures to a specific printer on their system.
I have been googling like mad and cant come up with anything at all.... any help would be GREAT!
