Hey All, I'm just in the beginning phases of figuring out how I am going to make it hard (not bulletproof) for a user to print and image more than once. Now I'm open to how that image gets sent to the printer (as an image...in a Word file....other ideas...just not in a PDF).
Requirements: Netscape or IE (version 4 and up) CF Server 5 Enterprise Currently using CFX_Image to add text to a blank image file (gif of jpeg...doesn't matter to me). My thoughts so far: I've looked at CF Comet and found a few methods of sending a Word file to the printer. That means I could drop the edited image into a Word doc and fire that to the printer. Now I suppose that if that method brings up the printer dialogue box then the user could simply up the number of copies (thoughts...comments). I was thinking of having the image (or thumbnail of it...with right clicking disabled) display in a pop-up window with a "print" link which would send the proper file to the client's printer....close the pop-up....navigate the main window to a new page and disable it's back button (not sure if I can disable it in IE and Netscape). That would take care of most average users. There may be folks that would try to work around it, but ultimately it's not too big of an issue if someone did. Thoughts? Comments? Cross browser crud? Links? Custom Tags? Thanks in advance Bryan Stevenson B.Comm. VP & Director of E-Commerce Development Electric Edge Systems Group Inc. t. 250.920.8830 e.
