Java Script to Print back-to-back

[ashishsmith]

Hello All,

I know, I have asked the same question in Cold Fusion, but after reading some replies. I guess Java Script would the right place to ask something like this.

I have an application which shows all the records of last week. What I need to do each week is print all the records to review them. Now these records are usually 2 page long record.

What I want to do to save paper and to get less paper work, I want to automatically print the records back-to-back. I can't manually change the settings for each print because there are many records each week.


Thank you,

Ashish Smith

If by "back-to-back" you mean full-duplex (i.e. double-sided) printing, then you cannot instigate this specifically with JS alone without some sort of ActiveX control, etc.

Hope this helps,

But is there a way to instigate not just by JS than using anything. Is there any way using JS, Cold Fusion or anything?


Thank you,

Cold Fusion, as far as I know, is a server-side language, so will not help you at all (printing is done client-side).

I'd say your best bet is to find (or write) an ActiveX control... Try searching on Google for "ActiveX print control" and see what you get.

Failing that, learn a programming language that lets you code your own ActiveX control (C, C+, VB, Delphi, etc) and ask in the forum for that language.

Hope this helps,
Dan
