There may be a better way, but here are two possible ways:
 
### THIS WILL BRING UP THE SAME PRINT WINDOW AS USED BY WEB BROWSER
 
  $dll = "$ENV{'WINDIR'}/System32/mshtml.dll";        
  system("rundll32.exe $dll,PrintHTML $file");
 
 
-OR-
 
 
### THIS MAY OR MAY NOT GIVE THE BEST RESULTS
 
  system("copy $file \\\\ServerName\\PrinterName");
 
 
Good luck.

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Perl and printing


All,
 
 
I have a Perl application that uses Win32::GUI to provide a nice front end
for a database, what I would really like to do is provide a print feature
with the ability to print to a network printer through the gui.  Does anyone
know of any way to do this?
 
Cheers,

Darin
