We are building a web app for an inventory management/order fulfillment system that processes 1500-2000 orders per day. &nbsp;The order fulfiller scans items that he is packing into a shipment until all items have been packed. &nbsp;At that time, the fulfiller clicks &quot;Finish&quot;, and we need to automatically print all of the associated shipping labels and packing slips. &nbsp;Further, the shipping labels need to be routed to the label printer and the packing slip to another laser printer.<br />
<br />
We've completed the integration with the carrier to retrieve an image of the shipping label, and we've styled the confirmation page so that prints as a packing slip. &nbsp;Any ideas on how to automatically print upon completion of the order? &nbsp;I know that we can't do this in HTML/JS for security reasons...so what alternatives are there? &nbsp;Applet? &nbsp;ActiveX control? &nbsp;Any other suggestions?

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Web Browsers

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
