print option!! help!! privilege required?? urgent

[krish1980]

friends,
i'm trying to print document. i'm writing this thread to draw fresh attention(urgent). i used window.print() to print. but it displays error message saying "u do not have permissons to use the selected the printer.contact administrator" . but i'm logged in as administrator while using that. i'm using a network printer for testing purposes.

thanks.

This code will display a link on the page saying PRINT.
Clicking on the link will print the current page in IE5+/netscape.

<a href=&quot;javascript:window.print()&quot;>PRINT</a>

As for your permission problems, it shouldn't matter if you are logged in as Administrator or not, because you are accessing the html page as a web user.

Are you able to use the File/Print function of your browser without getting the same error?

thanks mr.brikkett,
but i'm not able to use the file/print option as well. it is firing the same error. think ur code will work perfectly if this is sorted out. by the way how to print the document by writing to another html.
thanks

I had a feeling it was a printer permissions problem. You are right... sort out your permissions problem, and the code will work just fine.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by writing to another html?? You want to print the contents of the page into a file instead of to the printer? Brett Birkett B.Comp

hello Mr. Birkett,
thanks. yes i want to write the contents to a html file in a more legible & black & white printable format before printing that html file.
i've sorted out this problem of print permissions.
