Printing html document
|
|
| Victor 2004-09-24, 8:55 am |
| I need to print a html page using a button(but not the mozilla or
explorer button).
So I need I button in a web page that will print that page to a
printer that is not attached to the local computer, but to the web
server where the page is hosted.
The problem is that when I send a html page it prints all the tags:
<table>, ...
I belive I need function that can give me the right string to send
to the printer.
Thank you.

So you need some sort of filter to convert an HTML document to a
format that your printer can understand. Are you trying to get plain
text output? HTML::Striper might be your friend. Want it formatted?
HTML::Latext might do as a first stage (then you'll need to convert
the LaTeX to something your printer can understand (maybe
postscript)).
