What I need to do SHOULD be incredibly simple. I am compiling for Mac OS X. I just need to print an HTMLViewer without requiring the user to interact with a print dialog box. The built-in HTMLViewer.print requires the print dialog to be shown and dismissed by the user - it also has bugs with properly printing multiple pages. I just need the HTMLViewer to be sent to the printer automatically, as there may be many HTMLViewer pages being printed. Using MBS to print the HTMLViewer just prints a blank page, so that doesn't work. I tried using RenderDocumentToPDFMBS to take an HTMLViewer and convert it to a PDF and then print that. The issue I have is that when I try to print the PDF, it does not print on multiple pages as it should, but rather scaled down so tiny that the print out is useless. The text is unreadable and all of the content is super tiny. I've tried messing with all of my printer settings, there's just no way to have it split the PDF into pages, I've tried using Terminal's lp commands, but no matter what the PDF is scaled down or cut off. Is there any way to take an HTMLViewer and print the content, with proper scaling and multiple pages, and without showing the print dialog to the user? Is there a way to simply tell RenderDocumentToPDFMBS to separate by pages? Or is there another method to print from an HTMLViewer without requiring the user interact with the print dialog window each time? I can't believe this simple task is so difficult, and I'm sure I'm overlooking a simple solution. Thank you very much in advance to anyone who can help.
