Printing to a Printer - How?

[Anon]

Hi

I know how to use PHP to print records from a mySQL database to the browser, but want to print direct to a printer.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Many thanks

Kevin

I do not think it supports printing directly from a database result

Not sure it would work, because I havent tried it, but I think the only way would be with Javascript: open a new window to run your PHP script, immediately hide it, and then in the "body onload" event, print the window contents (self.print()), and then unload.
