Hi,

we need to be able to print directly from a browser to a small receipt printer connected locally to the PC that the browser is running on (without the user having to print from the browser manually). Obviously we want a thin solution - so outside of using an applet, would javascript be an option?

thanks in advance

JavaScript would still require a user to click a print OK button.
