Re: [U2] [UV] printing html documents
Have a look at www.PStill.com (*nix/Windows) which will use Mozilla (IIRC) to render the HTML (including CSS js) and postscript it for printing or pdf it for viewing. -Original Message- I have some documents that were created by users using html editors (different kinds) which then were saved into uv files. I want to read in these documents from within a basic program and send them to the printer, all nicely formatted. Any ideas? The reason I'm doing it from basic is because I have a lot of other data that I'm working with also, the html files are just a small part of it.

[U2] [UV] printing html documents

Re: [U2] [UV] printing html documents
the only way I can think of, which I did, was saved the html document in a file that was common to another PC (running windows) as well as an rsh daemon. I then used rsh to push a command to the windows computer to open internet explorer using the pathname pointing to the shared directory the HTML document is is, then using the same rsh deamon, pushed a command to the PC to print to the default printer. It worked, 90% of the time. This was with UV on linux, and IE on a PC running the rsh daemon (service) George -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users- boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Dianne Ackerman Sent: Friday, November 13, 2009 11:56 AM To: U2 List Server Subject: [U2] [UV] printing html documents I have some documents that were created by users using html editors (different kinds) which then were saved into uv files.

The following assumes your system runs on a Unix/Linux/etc. server. If the user is connecting through a terminal emulator, you can use a file transfer protocol, such as Zmodem, to move a file to the user's PC. Then, depending on the emulator, you should be able to tell the emulator to tell the Windows shell to print the document -- the equivalent of doing a right-click and selecting print in Windows Explorer. Getting it to print on a particular printer is more challenging -- this is equivalent to dragging the file to a printer shortcut on the desktop. In Windows terminology it's called printto. Since I bring this up, you can probably guess that our terminal emulator, AnzioWin, handles this very well :-) If you'd prefer not to go through the emulator, we also offer Print Wizard. It can act as a print server on a Windows PC, receive jobs, and pass them off to Windows to print according to file extension. Feel free to contact me off list.

Re: [U2] [UV] printing html documents
All of the suggestion so far should be of value, but I'll note that if the HTML pages include javascript or CSS you're going to have a problem with all of the suggestions. Some tools like HtmlDoc (another fine but limited solution) don't process CSS at all and only process up to HTML 3.2, not 4.x. Let us know in this forum if your requirements are more complex. Good luck.

Re: [U2] [UV] printing html documents
They _shouldn't_ contain that sort of thing, these are actually essays that students write in html editors and submit to their professors. The professors want to be able to select them and print them off, along with other information from student files. So hopefully this will be more simple than complex. :) -Dianne All of the suggestion so far should be of value, but I'll note that if the HTML pages include javascript or CSS you're going to have a problem with all of the suggestions.

Re: [U2] [UV] printing html documents
If your html files are in a type 19 file and the location on your network is reachable from your pc, you can kick off the IE browser from Accuterm sending the path of the file and it will pop up like the wed editor. Then you can print it or view it.
