Description

We have a children's security web application that at one point prints out a name badge and check-in receipt to a DYMO label printer. We currently use an ActiveX control to handle margins, orientation, printer selection and silently print, but this limits us to Internet Explorer only. We are wanting to duplicate this functionality across multiple platforms and browsers. (specifically Mac with Firefox and Safari and Windows with IE and Firefox) We're assuming the easiest way to do this is with a Java Applet.

Our current system draws the labels via HTML to the browser already, so we just need to invoke printing of that browser page.

Here are the basics of what the applet needs to do:

1) Return a list of current system printers back to the browser
2) Allow the browser to select which printer to print to (prints to system default if not specified)
3) Set printer paper size
4) Set paper orientation (landscape vs portrait)
5) Set printer margins
6) Remove web browser header & footers
6) Print contents of a web page silently (no dialog box)

Also, speed is very important as we have to process & print a lot of labels fairly quickly, so if there is a method of keeping the applet resident (doesn't have to load each time we want to print) that would be ideal.


Additional information submitted:

Thanks for all the great questions & feedback. To clarify what we're looking for a little further, our system currently uses this ActiveX control:

(www.meadco.com/scriptx)

We are looking to basically duplicate it's functionality in another technology that would allow us to be cross-platform & cross-browser.

We have also looked at this:

(http://jsprintsetup.mozdev.org/) which is also very close to what we need, but it's firefox only & isn't fully Mac compatible.

Hopefully this helps. I can also make a short video of our current application & explain in detail how this is used in the code if that would be helpful.

Well your requirement is very interesting but we would suggest instead of a java applet, we should create a jsp/jsf page on which we can setup any print settings and click to print to the printer immediately. With the java, being platform independent, we would be able to achieve the cross platform usability. We would need to know the type of printer vendor and model which prints the label. Do you require the label text to be input by the user or is it stored in some database. Please explain and give us more details. We are highly skilled in java technologies and willing to work with you. We are determined to provide quality work to our clients. So, provide us the opportunity to work with you. Regards
