What are some options to have a website print a pdf file directly to the default printer?
Secondly what are some options to print a pdf file directly to a specific pre-determined printer (i.e. receipt printer)?
In my research it seems like you can't just print directly from a browser (you can't control the user's PC from a browser directly), but what about any type of plug-ins or such that would allow such a thing?
I'd like to offer a "print" button, and as soon as the user clicks it a PDF file is generated behind the scenes and printed directly to the printer (the user doesn't need to see the PDF on the screen).
I'm thinking this isn't possible with the browser alone, but possibly with a browser plug-in or something like that?
Thank you.
