Web Application Printing Strategy
When I create a web application that will be displayed to the internet I am not consider about document printing. But when I create a web application for business I must have solutions about it. Here is some strategy that I have tested and worked for me.
1. Print HTML Directly from browser
2. Print HTML using javascript activation/button
3. Print Text Directly from browser
4. Print Text Using Separate software handler. (Customer MIME Handler)
5. Print PDF using browser Plugin.
So, those are web printing Strategy that I can do. I will create posts about doing it in step by step especially No. 4 and 5.
