I have used a method where I created an html page in perl and instead of
printing it to the user, sent it to a file. The file I then send to another
program that I found on the internet called html2ps. The result of this (a
postscript file) is then sent to a printer.
Included is some of the code from my perl script.
...
print REPORT "</BODY>
</HTML>";
close (REPORT);
@error1 = system("/usr/local/bin/html2ps
/var/www/database/backflowletter.html >
/var/www/database/backflowletter.ps");
if (@error1 = 0) {
print "<H3>Postscript Print file converted successfully!</H3>";
@error2 = system("lpr -Plex1650 /var/www/database/backflowletter.ps");
if (@error2 = 0) {
print "<H3>Postscript Print file spooled to Printer lex1650
successfully!</H3>";
}
sleep 5;
}
}
