Why not generate a PDF file on the local file system and then print it (linux machine) with gs ? (ghostscript) just my 2 cents... ----- Message d'origine ----- De : Felipe E.

I got some replies about PDF document creation tools, both, products for Zope or, Python made software.
All of those products actually create the PDF document and later on it has to be "viewed" on the client PC with the Acrobat reader (or similar tool) and printed from there. This is NOT operational since, the server is the one that has to send the print request to the Linux spooler after the user pressed a "print" button on his/her browser. The "to be printed" document HAS to be mandatory printed (by law requirements) after user has filled in data, checked for errors and hit "print" on the web form (not the browser's print button).
