Check Everything On Print

I am working on an evidence submission form for my PD. I have looked at the different posts regarding checking to make sure certain boxes are checked before printing / saving the document.

This is what I am trying to accomplish at the moment.

I have (6) check boxes (Check Box1, Check Box2, etc) that need at least one of them to be checked when the form is printed.

I tried using multiple statements and tying them together with &&.

I usually can figure out my solutions when I have a good piece of code to start off on, but I can't find anything that really makes sense.

By the way, if there is an error message I don't want the printing to continue. I am using a print button with the code added in.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I have the impression that it is not clear to everyone: you can stop a file from being printed or saved, but only if the end user uses your "Print" or "Save" button.

Otherwise (if he is using a shortcut or the File menu) you can only display an alert message that does not interrupt the process.

You can't stop a file from being printed or saved. You can put out a message, but not stop the action. Thank goodness.

Is there a way to stop it from moving to the print unless everything checks out?

If you add a button to print on the page, you can certainly stop that button from printing, and put out a message instead. But you CANNOT stop printing, for example if someone does Ctrl+P.
