Customizing Print & Page Settings in IE.

[NewProtocol]

Hi Everyone,

I am faced with a complex problem of customizing an HTML
page for our Product. I plead in helping/assisting me by
providing a solution. The problem description is as
follows:

I have an HTML page which lists patients' information. The
page is kind of a patient report which can extend for
multiple pages. I need to print Patient's name, Date, Page
# starting with the second page onwards and NOT on the
first page. Also, once the data for first patient is
printed, the same HTML page is continued to print second
patient's data, and so on.

To summarize, I need to know when the second page for a
given patient has started (when it goes to the printer),
when the third page has started, etc. Is there a way by
which I can achieve this using ASP, HTML ?

Any solution is greatly appreciated. Please help !

Thanks,
Sree.

Browsers cannot interact with hardware unless you use some type of ActiveX control possibly. I don't know much about those and where you could find one, but you might do some research on those. Sorry!

I also think u may need an ActiveX to do this. I had some kind of problem where I needed to force any printer to print in Landscape and solved it with a powerfull ActiveX made by MeadCo`s and called ScriptX (

) It`s a very useful tool letting you set up about anything about printers. I only needed the basics methods so thetool is free and freely distributable. But you should take a look at the "Advanced" or "Techie" methods and functions. I'm pretty sure they got what you need.

Hope that will help !!!
