Help printing a page

landysaccount

Hello.

I need help getting a page to print correctly with php.

I have a php script that displays the current invoices from a small shop on to the screen but, when I send to to print by pressing ctrl-p it prints the page with a border around the whole page. Also, if I only one to print one invoice, it prints but, again prints with the border around the page. These invoices are 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 (half of page). I'm trying to print them with an Epson lx 300 printer and I'm not getting the desire output. I don' t know if is the printer which I doubt, I've printed it on different printer it same result.

How can I get a page printed with php? or any other way?

Please help. Part of the script below.

Thanks in advanced for your help.

If you're doing this from a web browser, remember that it would be putting its own margins around the page (it will have page set up settings to control this).

You might want to look at generating [man]pdf[/man] documents and printing those instead.
