I need to print from Zope with a specific printing format (like invoices, receipts, etc). This will be done on always the same Intranet and printing will be controlled from the Linux spooling system.

you can write the zope output to a file and print it using an external method not the cleanest way but works : If you can name your printable docs with .prt modify the DTMLDocument.py __call__ method r=apply(HTML.__call__, (self, (client, bself), REQUEST), kw) ----snip snip -------- pos = find(self.__name__, ".prt") if pos >= 0: PrintJob(r) --snip snip---------- Where PrintJOb is a python method that will write to a file and lpr it. If you want the html printed after rendering then using the pdf generator is a better. Another idea that I have tried : inherit from DTMLDocument and create a new object type that will send itself to the printer at the end of processing embed latex with dtml and send the results to the printer using pdflatex. There are some cool tex macros called context written by hans hagen that can be used to create rich documents sathya -- ########################## necessity is the mother of invention ########################## -- ########################## necessity is the mother of invention ##########################
