How do I cause a hyperlink to send a print job?

Hello...Through the industry grapevine I had heard it's possible to print for the client...What I mean is when your client clicks on a link on your website to ,say , an order form that it automatically sends the order form to the clients default printer. Is this something that dreamweaver does as a basic function or is it something that requires some 3rd partie scripting? My email address is Chronicdiving@aol.com...I would really appreciate it if anyone's got any ideas as to how to do this...i'm in the middle of a job and it's a feature I'd really like to have...thank you for your time and concern

Syed,

Glad I could help. It was pretty easy to figure out, using an html book and a javascript book.

Ray,

You can code this yourself. It's a little bit of javascript. Put a link that says Print or something like that. Below is some sample href link you can do. I coded it using an image for the user to click. It will still require the user to click okay when the print dialog box opens. Good luck!

<img src="../images/print.gif" alt="Click to Print this Report" width="16" height="16" class="reportsJS" title="Click to Print this Report" onClick="window.print()" />
