Hi

I have a .JSP program whixch generates on screen a report, this is called from a button on another screen. Works fine but what I would ideally like is for the report to be printed straight away to the default printerrather than having to show it on screen and then use IE print fucntionality

Thanks

Mike

JSP = Java Server Pages, which is not Javascript. This might be better off here... topic moved.

I think adding JavaScript to your page would be the best solution. Messing with the Java printing API's is probably overkill. Use this javascript function:

Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
   if (window.print)
   {
      window.print()
   }
</script>

Let me know if does/doesn't work.

Thanks, that worked exactly as I wanted

You may want to check if the user has javascript enabled. If they don't, then you can use your previous code redirecting to a report page.
