Ok so i misunderstood the actual requirement. THe page would have to print on the client machine as there are many machines running the scan guns. I am assuming i would need Javascript for this task but i am not sure if there are any libraries out there for this already.
We would want to print the page to the default printer completely bypassing the print dialog that pops up. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks, Joseph Crawford On 12/20/06, Joseph Crawford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Ok Guys & Gals, I know i have seen talk on this subject before (or similar) but i never had a use for it until now. My fulltime employer has their warehouse application written in PHP controlled with scan guns, etc. When they pack an order they scan the barcodes and it processes the order. The script then generates a PDF and currently redirects to the PDF so that it will open in the browser. They can then hit print to print the page. We would like to streamline this a bit more. Rather than redirect to the PDF we would like the PHP script actually send the PDF directly to the printer. I know you can do this as i recall someone doing it with a DYNAMO labeler. The question is where can i read up on this topic. We would need to send this off to the default printer port. Any insight would be a great help.
