[REBOL] Re: Network printing

Ric:

Thanks for your answer: it works all OK ! :-))

Perhaps there's no multiplatform approach to this problem, but I was just
wondering why the problem was not discussied in the Core User guide or in
the 'official guide'...
After all, it remains an essential feature ( just think about reports ...).
OK, you can generate a magnificent html page which you can print. But what
about it if you have 100 different reports to print (like I have). Does the
operator then have to execute 100 times the same print procedure ?... Lot of
work  ! Bad approach !

I hope RT will consider this problem, and bring a solution...

Regards,

Christophe
