Can anyone guide me through printing pdf files on the server-side from
asp page. (The pdf files will be picked up from a local windows
folder).
I believe 2 possible options would be:
1)using wsh with asp
2)using Adobe objects from within asp
I haven't had much success with either.
I would like to print to a printer connected to my IIS server.
I mean "I DONT WANT TO PRINT ON EVERY PRINTER IN THE WORLD". (many
answers are thinking javascript printing to the user side)
I just want to print on the server side only for me (in ASP of course)
Another thing to consider is that i use a local printer that generate
PDF (Acrobat Distiller driver + ghostscript + redmon port redirector ).
My server side printer name is "PDFPrinter" and its port is "RPT1:"
I tried with FileSystemObject.CreateTextFile("RPT1:",True) but don't
work.I saw many examples with:
.......set objPrinter =CreateTextFile("LPT1:",True) so ....
I also tried with Wscript.NetWork class but no sucess
I am trying to print a file from an ASP script but haven't been able
to find any way of making this happen.
I have an EPL (Eltron Thermal Printer language) file that is being
generated from the script and I want a way to print this file. An EPL
file is basically printed the same way as a postscript PRN would be
printed. From a command prompt I can type:
copy label.EPL LPT1
and get the thing printed. I want to be able to do this same thing
within ASP.
I have tried creating a batch file and calling that from ASP using the
code at http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2059 but that didn't seem to
work. I did give permissions to CMD and Command but it's still not
working. Is that because "copy" is part of Command? I also tried
DynuExec but that didn't do the trick either.
Is there any way to copy a file to LPT1 from within an ASP script at
all? How about JavaScript? I'm ok with any kind of creative
solutions...it doesn't have to be elegant since this will only be used
as an internal application.
I need to print to the IIS server's local printer. I have written a basic e-commerce site, and when a customer places an order, I would like to print the details directly to the server's printer so it can be actioned. I'm using Windopws 2000 / IIS 5 and "classic" ASP.

Following is a vbscript code extract triggered by a combobox OnChange event. arrVendorA and arrdefpack are server side arrays and i need the intCounter parameter to be the array index. Code:

dim selVendor
selvendor= colSelect("cboVendor", intCounter).value
if selvendor= "<%=arrvendorA(intCounter)%>" then
if "<%=arrdefpack(intCounter)%>" = 2 then
colTD("txtStdPack" & intcounter+1 ).innertext = cstr("<%=arrVAStdPAckL2(intCounter)%>")
end if
end if
end sub

How do I go about calling a server-side vbscript within a client-side
javascript function? What I have is a page heavy on the javascript that has
a number of functions, one of which is to begin a visual countdown with an
onclick and also open an asp page containing the server-side vbscript, which
initiates a wake-on-lan call. I had no idea how to call the vbscript within
the javascript function, so this is why I opted for the vbscript asp page
"pop-up" via window.open. Code:
I check to see if a certain submission button is asking for removal. If the removal is true, I update a recordset's delete column. This has been tested and it works. However, now I'd like to prompt the user to make sure that he/she wants to remove the record. Here's the code: ....
View Replies View RelatedI have a Client Side Java Script which is supposed to re-load the options on my serverside ASP form.
I have been trying to get the syntax right to assign the Select box on the ASP form to a variable in my JavaScript so I can update the options. Can anyone either tell me if this is not possible or what the syntax should be. Here is some information.
Form Name = AddProdForm

I am starting to build quite a few pages that will have
tables of data from an SQL database.
I have been building the table rows on the server side
in VBScript, but I have been thinking about having the
VBScript code just build array variables in the <head>
section (or as local variables), and then have JavaScript
functions on the client side actually populate the tables
when the page loads.
I do plan to do other things like being able to sort the
tables in JavaScript code on the client, limit the tables
height and be able to scroll the rows, and click on a row
in the table, and have the values populate a form. I will
also need to be able to export/download/? some tables into
Excel.

View Replies View RelatedWe have an interesting situation: A developer wants to allow users to print a text-only version of an ASP page -- but do so without showing the page. In other words, the users are viewing the regular version of the page, but then click the "Print Text-Only Version" (and see the print dialog) but not see the page that will be printed. Is this even possible?

View Replies View RelatedI have inherited a set of asp pages that I now need to augment. In order to minimize changes to production code, I would like to make a "call" to an asp page from a new asp page. Existing code is using many Request.Form variables, and I would very much prefer not to change this code.
The new page will retrieve data that I would like to fill into Request.Form variables that are used in the old code. So, is it possible for me to set Request.Form variables from within an asp page and then fire off a second page that uses those variables as
well as any Request.Form variables that were passed to the original page. Additionaly, it should all occur on the server, and the client would only get a response after all on the server is complete.
