How will i be able to print a JSP page(rather a report generated using JSP in HTML) with proper formating? I tried to print using the browser print option but it does not print in proper format. it adds on the page nos and also the browser title, etc. I am using JSP, html, javascript, MySql, Apache Web Server.

Simply you can't! Your only option is to use the browser print!

you can't configure a clients printer settings unless you have an ActiveX control in an intranet environment.

Hi all, I am facing the same problem like kaushikgmehta do. Everytime when my user want to print something from the browser, the last few line of data sure will out of format.

I understand that the most difficult of taugh things in Web-based system is Client-Side printing. BUt is it impossible to do so?

I did try some sort like generating a .pdf files to the client is that end-user want to print something from their workstation...

But.......... fails... fail to adapot that API.

Any ideas?

PDF or Images are the best way to format documents for printing on the web.

HTML is a hit or miss.

What do you mean by fails to adopt that api?
