MadTechie Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 lookup javascript in PDF's you can create one to print on opening and then have the pdf opened via a frame. this would then automatically print.

wint.thaw Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Dear Mad Thanks for sharing the information. But unfortunately the pdf files are not possible to put javascript because it is using for other purpose as well. Just want to print something like ghostscript printing but ghostscript printing is using server network printer. Is there anyother way to print out using client resource?

MadTechie Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Theirs no other way i can think of.. infact i am surprised that adobe allow printing without promoting (but it can be disabled) sorry but please if you find a way please share the info options: Maybe ActiveX, Maybe Flash, Maybe Java, Create your own browser (ok this is getting silly) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/50358-printing-pdf-file-using-php-without-prompting-print-dialog/#findComment-249672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fou2enve Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I know you can do it in VB because ive done with with network printers but that was not an ActiveX control tho. In theory you could write it in VB as an ActiveX and then integrate that into a page. Are you trying to print on the client or server btw?
