Re: How to automatically print webpage?

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Retrieving the PDF with GETURI or HTTPAPI would be easy enough.  From there
you just need to figure out how to print it.   Hopefully in your database
you can then store the location and name of the file to associate it with
the order.

Some printers you can send PDFs to and they will print (I believe via FTP),
but not all of them.

I believe Printing PDFs from the IFS has been covered a few times over the
years.  If the archive search is working, give it a go.  Or just a Google
search may work too.
