Can you print from a browser and PHP like this?

3 New Member
I have a check-in database using mySQL and being accessed over the LAN by a computer running IE under Windows.

The server is running Linux and the computer accessing the database is running XP and accessing the database through php scripts using IE or Firefox.

What I need to do is print name labels using a label printer.

Basically I need to do this.

1. A person checks in.
2. His info is saved to the server.
3. A name badge is then printed.

The check-in is accomplished through a web browser connecting to the check-in database on the server.

Any easy way to do this?

Only thing you need to have a Web server which support PHP under your LAN.And as far as you having that MySQL Database you can make it.

The server and mySQL database is no problem. What I need to do is print from the work station that is accessing the server.

Can you explain the problem? If the workstation can access the script address on the server, the user has the same functionality as if working at the server

The problem is... I don't know how to do it. :)

What I need to do is print to a Dymo label printer from the Windows worksation. The server is on the net so printing from it will not do any good.

Yes I know your problem is you don't know how to do it. But you don't know how to do what?

. Do you mean you can't configure a printer to work on a PC running XP? Or you don't know how to print from a browser. I am guessing that what you need to do is create your labels into a file. I would recommend a PDF file. There are some good PDF classes about. Then print from the PDF to a printer via Windows.
