Barand Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Whenever I want to print, I write to a PDF file which then downloads to the browser for printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 The ability to print from a website is a local operating system capability, built into the browser. There is nothing special that PHP can do to help or hinder the process. Javascript can be used to invoke the built-in browser support for printing, but again, printing will always require the user to take action. For example, here is a simple button inside an anchor tag with some javascript. <a href="#" media="all" onclick="window.print();return false;"><button type="button">Print</button></a> You can use media queries in your css to style a page for printing by adding a style section like this: @media print { /* styles here */ } Typically people will hide things like menus, footers, nav, sidebars etc. You also might want to set a margin around the content, since typically printers have that constraint, so you might have something like this: @media print { header, footer { display: none; } } Here is a pretty good sitepoint article that goes into much more detail.
