haku Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I would be very surprised if it was possible to force the document to print. The best you can do is force a download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLitkie Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 im kinda new to the whole thing here, but couldn't you use the php to pull it from the server and then mix in a java script or DHTML to offer the option to print, or maybe for a print??
