Ok so i misunderstood the actual requirement.<br><br>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.
<br><br>We would want to print the page to the default printer completely bypassing the print dialog that pops up.<br><br>Any assistance will be appreciated.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Joseph Crawford<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Ok Guys & Gals,<br><br>I know i have seen talk on this subject before (or similar) but i never had a use for it until now.<br><br>My fulltime employer has their warehouse application written in PHP controlled with scan guns, etc.
<br>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<br>open in the browser. They can then hit print to print the page.
<br><br>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<br>do this as i recall someone doing it with a DYNAMO labeler.
<br><br>The question is where can i read up on this topic. We would need to send this off to the default printer port.<br><br>Any insight would be a great help.<br><br>Thanks,<br><span class="sg">-- <br>Joseph Crawford Jr.
