printing

Hi:

I`m printing a web page by javascript.

By javascript, how can I know if the page was printed by the printer?

Thanks!!

how are you printing a webpage with javascript?

window.print()?

no, there is no way to tell.

maybe if you used activex controls.

Yes, I'm using window.print(), should I use activex controls in order to know if the page was printed by the printer?

I'm calling window.print() function and I need a reply from the printer in order to know if really the page was printed

look into window.onafterprint.

maybe something like:

window.onafterprint = function() { alert('done printing'); }

I need the printer reports if the page was printed physically.

window.onafterprint only works after call printing module
