NYCPHP Meetup

[Joseph Crawford]

I am curious why people are suggestion to use a web service that adds to the monthly bill for the company rather than a simple print using javascript, so long as the machines are on the same network a wifi printer would work.  If they are not on the same network then you would have to do some sort of email to the printer like the HP one suggested.

Thanks,
Joseph Crawford

They hit a button that users window.print to print out all of the pending orders and updates them in the database as having been printed. So next time when they print or reload the page, it doesn't print the same orders again. You can even use css page-break-after to separate orders into different pages.
