Trying to call COM class

[qujo33]

First off, I am a newb to JS. I am a programmer but scripting languages are not something I have used in the past. I have a DYMO printer and I am trying to call their COM interface so I can read an input file (.CSV) and print the labels without user intervention (once the application is finished). The user could do that with menu selections, however, in the past most of my users screw this up.

According to the documentation the COM interface is called 'DYMO.DYMOAddIn' and it basically has simple control functions that are "in many cases equivalent to the built-in menu commands". The listed functions/properties are Open(options), Save(options), SaveAs, Print(options), Hide, Quit, Show. SysTray and a few other non related ones. I will be running a PHP script and, although PHP does provide COM capabilities, I cannot make it work so I am trying to make this happen with JavaScript.

Any ideas on syntax to access/use this function. I know that I can put the JS in my PHP and it works as I have seen programming that will make this happen. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to TSDN!

You won't be able to do this with normal standard JavaScript. Since this seems to be for a targeted user group, you could use ActiveX (which would only work in IE).
