Dear all,

I am not sure whether this post should be under this part, anyway... thanx for reading.

I have an application, where at the end of the transaction, the users are required to print confirmation slips. All these were working fine until the management decided to have a pre-printed layout for the slips.

Therefore, now I am stuck in the part of customizing the printing for the layouts.For example:

           a) In the TIME section -> time should be printed
           b) In the DATE section -> date should be printed ext

Is there any method that I can use to actually control the layout postioning in ASP?... I am really stuck ... and as the deadline given is only 1 week .. I really will appreciate any help ....

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
nagesh

Are all your users running the same system with the same printer?

If not, you may have gotten a pretty difficult task. Printing the same stuff with a complex layout on different systems could really turn out to be hard. Systems have different fonts, different margins, font sizes etc.

The best thing you could do is to create your pages as simple as possible. So do not assume you can use the entire page (A4, Letter, whatever) that your system can print on.

To create the confirmation page, output your stuff to the browser as you would do for normal pages. You can use HTML and CSS techniques to control the layout of your pages. If you need to control page breaks, take a look here.

If you elaborate a bit about what exactly you're trying to accomplish, we may be able to provide you with more tips.

Imar

Hi Imar,

Actually, I have some sort of managed to find out a solution.Yes, I am using the CSS to control the layout .. hiding some of the elements while printing ... I also realised the fact that the users will be using different printers...

Thanx for the quick reply.
