Invoking a Print Job

I am trying to figure a way so that when a user submits a particular form, the results get printed automatically.

I realize on a *nix machine I can command line PHP it out to lp but what about windows?

Also this is only going to be used on 1 central machine, I just don't know if it is going to *nix or win32 :/

TIA

This is a web form? Use whatever server-side scripting language you use to print out the print javascript to the client at the end of your form-handling routine.

In PHP:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?

     /* handle form */

    echo("<script>");

    echo("window.print();");

    echo("</script>");

?>

In ASP:

Code:

<%
    ' handle form
	Response.Write("<" & "scr" & "ipt" & ">")
	Response.Write("window.print();")
	Response.Write("</" & "scr" & "ipt" & ">")
%>
