| Is there a way in asp to control how my information prints out on a printer? I have some information that I need to print out on our 4in by 6in label printer. Right now it is outputed to a browser window in a table and you have to adjust the page setup and pick the label printer every time because it is not the default is there anyway that I can make this more automated??? Thanks. |

you can use CSS, but its not a guarenteed solution (there isn't going to be a "for sure" solution) check out some hits on google for "CSS print page" for some stuff ------------- Contribute to the working anarchy we fondly call the Internet |

| Is it possible to put my information into a word document and be able to set the margins and such? I can then print it manually from there. |

There are several components which allow you to "print" in a pdf or word doc. The problem is that they cost and not many hosters would install it. To sort a same problem I was forced to lear some php as it has some inherited clases that alow you to alter online and pdf document. I don't remember the one of word doc, but here it is the http://www.asp-pdf.com/ - pdf component . The simplest way is to have the form as a jpeg and use ASPJpeg to write on it. ------------- Cristian Banu http://www.soft4web.ro - Soft 4 web |

I'm new to ASP and haven't heard of ASPJpeg. Tell me more! Where can I see some examples and see some code. Making a Jpeg should work. Thanks for your help. |

http://www.aspupload.com/aspjpeg.html - Here it is. You'll find also some code samples. You should check whether your host has it or not. But 99% of them have it. ------------- Cristian Banu http://www.soft4web.ro - Soft 4 web |
