Help printing a page

[landysaccount]

Hello.

 

I need help getting a page to print correctly with php.

 

I have a php script that displays the current invoices from a small shop on to the screen but, when I send to to print by pressing ctrl-p it prints the page with a border around the whole page. Also, if I only one to print one invoice, it prints but, again prints with the border around the page. These invoices are 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 (half of page). I'm trying to print them with an Epson lx 300 printer and I'm not getting the desire output. I don' t know if is the printer which I doubt, I've printed it on different printer it same result.

 

How can I get a page printed with php? or any other way?

 

Please help. Part of the script below.

 

Thanks in advanced for your help.

Actually it's a browser or HTML error. PHP has nothing to do with print.

 

You can post the output of your php script (right-click to display the source of the page) in a [ code][/code] tag it will be easier to read and see where the error in your html come from.

 

You should really learn how to use the <table> html tag only for tabular data and how CSS work. It will be a lot easier to read, fix problem, upgrade or use another CSS sheet when printing.

 

You can try this at the top of your page :

 

<?php

echo '<style type="text/css">
@media print {
* { 
border:0;
}
}
</style>';

...
?>

 

It will remove all border from all html element when you print.
