Hi Richard,

I did a quick Google search. I wasn't particularly optimistic since in years past when I've looked it was not possible to print without the user seeing a printer dialog box.

I did find this though, http://printjs.crabbly.com/, which you can try and see if it works for you.

Cheers
Bruce

Hi Richard
What we do is generate the file as a pdf and store it on the server.
We then either email a copy of the document to the customer or send an sms to him with a link to the document so that he can download it.
