printout from php

Post by jayarajmohan »

Hi all,

I need to printout a fee receipt printout from my software.

I used a html page to be printed using Javascript print option.

But this seems very slow...

I hope there should be some other way to prepare a printout from php

Give your ideas to printout a page from php itself. And what is the way to increase the speed of print from JS .




Thanks

You can only print stuff from PHP on the server.

JS isn't slow. It's probably the computer running the JS. It runs the same commands as if the user clicked the "Print" button themself...so I don't see how it could be slower.

Your only other option is to make an active-x control or something. Maybe java or flash can do it as well...Idk.
