We have tried this method but it has a lot of problems. One is that you have
to hit print everytime a new page is printed. You can do some active x
programming to get around this but then your just talking IE. Another
problem is that you have to count lines to keep your headers straight. The
great thing about html is that you can define your headers to look right on
the screen (only showing once) and in your document (showing on every page)
with little code. The draw back of html is that there is no effient way to
print large files.
JAVA comes with a html parser that you can use to send files to the printer.
Is there something like this in php?

Hi,
if I can suggest you to do some pagination on your reports, then after
printing
each page, next page will be automatically loaded and printed and so on
until
report will be printed. Reloading and printing of each page should be done
with
client side programt, such like javascript...
This metod will produce several html pages smaller and easier to handle for
the
browser.
HTH, let me know
