Re: [Zope] Printing, let's try this again... Business applications printing
I am using Zope with a billing and invoicing system (both written within Zope). The user fills in a complex dynamic form on the screen and when fnished hits a button that send the data to an external method which in turn send the formatted page to the Linux print spool system which in turn forwards this to the appropiate remote printer which, most of the time are attached to Winndows 9X (yucks!!) PC's I am about to lauch a project to create a fully flexible report writer for Zope applications, kind of a product. Thinking on the design now though... Comments ?

I have a site that users use to build quotes. Once they get them the way they like them they are going to need to print them. The browser print button is not a good solution for many reasons, we need a header and footer on pages, pagination etc.
So the the question once again is: Is anyone printing from Zope. i.e. sending html to a html to pdf converter, or some other solution? Note: The ZPdfDocument doesnt convert the complete html page.
