hicksi Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hi guys, I have a large number of PDF documents that I want to index in html pages. By default, a standard link will display the pdf. I want (instead) to send the document directly to the default printer. My users might accept the printer=selection window, but my ideal is to have the document printed (double-sided) on the default printer. Thanks,Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hicksi Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Dang, I wanted to get the PDF to the printer WITHOUT it loading into a web page... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niche Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Sorry. I remember asking almost the same question some time ago and hoping for the answer you were hoping for, but no joy. That's just as well though. Can you imagine how mad users would get if web site could take control of their printer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest So Called Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 It reminds me of when FAX first became popular and people got mad because junk mailers started sending advertisement to their FAX machines. That's why you can't print directly to somebody's printer. Otherwise spammers could spam people's printers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
