PHP Printer: Can set margin?

[shelbytll]

Hi,
I wonder can we use the printer function in php to set margin?
Instead of having user to set the margin under File->Page Setup.

Thanks

you can't

php gets executed at the webserver so you can't change anything on the user's computer

maybe you can do it with javascript but afair this is possible only for ie and f course only if js is activated so don't rely on that

PHP's printer functions are for a printer running on the server, not the client.

If you mean the client, then CSS provides margin support for paged media, but you'll be taking a gamble that the client knows what to do with

@ { margin:2cm;}

in a stylesheet.

For printing on the server, you could specify a page width narrower than the paper.
