[cfaussie] Silent Printing to a Named Printer

2008-08-31 Thread Steve Armstrong

I did it in .NET once. A client side program, ran in tray. Queried the DB every X seconds, to see if there were any invoices to be printed to this client printer, if so print them. It worked well, was real time invoicing, it required that PC to be on and have the invoice printer appropriately

now-a-days MS are pushing SQLServer's reporting services (which IMHO are very limiting as far as layout and I'd guess you'd get better results from CF's report builder) but you're talking about a client-server app. OK, Steve, Gareth: is the POS a web-delivered app? in other words, are you
