Batch Print

Post by boybles »

Sharepoint has a feature that will automatically print several documents that have been selected in a batch job. Like in this screenshot:

What is going on under the hood? And what would I need to do in a web application developed in php to mimic this kind of automatic batch printing? Any ideas, technology/software links, coding samples would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I would collect the list of record primary keys, iterate them in an array outputting each document to the browser, then finally outputting javascript code to call the print functionality of the end user's browser, id use CSS to implement page breaks between documents
