My main web page has a print button, and when pushed a new page should load,
be printed automatically, and then the page should be closed. The control
should be back at the main page and the user should not have to go through a
print dialog. Is this possible to do in asp.net and/or javascript?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Erik. 5 3007
Erik,
The only way to do that would be using some type of active x control or it's
equivalent.
It would be a large security hole if we could just start firing up printers
from any web page.

nope.
They have to get the dialog unless you can print it through the server and
bypass the client.

I did something similar in an app.
1. The user clicks on a "Print" link.
2. Load the page to be printed, set the onload event to print the
document (window.print() )
3. Add a meta tag to do a page refresh back to the main page with no
time delay.
The user will not really see the new page. When the print dialog box
appears the "Print" button should be in focus. That means they won't
have to do anything except hit "Enter" to dismiss the print dialog and
print the document. There is a way of bypassing the print dialog box
altogether, but it involves a lot of c++ coding, downloading code to
the client, and will work only with IE. Short of doing that, the above
steps are your best option.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I will use this approach and have the
user hit enter when the print dialog pops up.
Cheers,
Erik.

This procedure worked fine, but I have stumbled into another problem:
The "print" page I am using can be reached from many different pages. Using
the meta tag with a static url will require me to make a "print" page for
each of the parent pages. Is there any way to "go back" after the print?
Or, if I launch the "print" page in a new browser window, is there anyway to
close the window after the print is done?
I have experimented with the onafterprint event, but for some reason the
event fires before the print dialog pops up.
Cheers,
Erik. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I have an aspx web page that loads an ascx control that's populated
with various items ( in a datalist ). Select an item and the page
reloads and the datalist now shows the details.
>From here I want to put a print option in, a button that will either
immediately print the contents of the datalist or maybe pop-up
something with just the currently viewed datalist contents in it (
leaving the user to print from the browser ).

Hi,
I have a page that has a collection of things which it passes to a
second 'print' page using a session variable.
The print page has buttons for moving though the collection and the
user prints by using the browser print button then moves to the next
one in the session collection.
All very tedious but I know no better.
