Web form when submitted prints to a printer

Hello,

I have an online application for scheduling appointments for a hospital. Now I want to have it printed to a printer in the call center. What I want to accomplish is that when a user fills out the form and submits, the data goes to a printer and prints it in real time. The web server is apache. The server and the call center printer are not located in the same place, but are on the same network. Is this doable, please advise and suggest any alternatives that any of you may think of.

Thanks

It'd be easier and better to just use a Javascript function to print out the form contents on click, rather than having a form submit. Look into Javascript printing.

What I want is the form from the internet is filled out by the client and that is printed on my printer on real time. It is more like ordering a pizza online, I believe the order is printed out on the other end, I am not sure.

Thanks
