I doubt it... And you're real unlikely to find the answer on a PHP mailing list, as noted. Some things you might consider. Use PHP to concatenate all the invoices with a "new page" character (control-L, I think) between them. That's probably only gonna work on an old dot-matrix printer, though... Use PHP to shove all the invoices into a single PDF http://php.net/pdf Use PHP to shove all the invoices into some kind of word-processing program format with page breaks between them. I imagine that if they are simple enough, you could even do a sample MS Word and reverse-engineer the format of the document enough to get it right. Use PHP to spew out the invoices in tab-delimited format, one per row, and download that, and then use Word's "template" or "mail-merge" or whatever they called it to print them up. Oh, I suppose you could use JavaScript with some kind of timer loop so I can click on the "Ok" button as fast as you pop up the stupid windows, but do you really expect me to click 200+ times for your stupid print button to work? Isn't it weird how all my good answers started with "Use PHP?" :-) :-) :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
