You have to get one concept clear. PHP is server side. Whatever PHP does
is done on the server. PHP *cannot* do anything on the client.
If you want to do something on the client, then use javascript.
This of course will not work unless the client is javascript enabled.
Furthermore, I do not know if you can use javascript to print a document.
If that were possible, then I could put a javascript on my page that sent
a thousand pages of junk to your printer - not good.
I know what you mean about having to print from the menu. I mean - menus
are for restaurants. :)
