A big issue is getting precise practical information on steps to wanted print outcomes. The issue is that you have several levels of potential complexity (base HTML/CSS combo; browser interpolation; printer parameters). The browser side is much better than it was on cross-compliance, but its

Josiah, Thanks for your suggestions. I realise I have a gap in my css knowledge here but ultimately I expect it to be both easy and flexible especially to a pdf file since as you suggest it provides a kind of standard printer. At the moment it seems I need to learn all about it so I can

Hi Tony, I attempted to make a label-maker-type tool that required precise control over margins and positioning of labels for printing. I had some success but in the end, it relied on setting particular (mostly zero) margins at the browser level which made it hard for me to deploy anywhere. My
