I would look into making a PDF.
I have done something similar - a customer once wanted to be able to print or fax invoices from a web form, so I filled in postscript templates, and sent to mgetty+sendfax (via ghostscript) or to a local printer.
This was a while ago.
Now, I would certainly look into PDF generation (in fact, I plan on in the near future). There are C libraries and perl modules that will allow you to generate PDF's. This is (IMO) The ultimate in creating print ready forms.

Hello all,
I'm developing a book keeping application, and would like to be able to print out reports in a nice A4 formatted size page.
I was wondering how this might be done.
An example of what I'm trying to do would be in printing an invoice that appears as HTML, and just being able to choose "print page", or clicking on something like "printer friendly output" etc.
What is done to the "printer friendly output" to make it format correctly?
Any ideas of pointers to documented examples would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Chris.
