Printing a URL - possible?

[admin]

Hello all,We're trying to find a way to print multiple complex HTML pages (actuallyDHTML reports customized using ASP, but that shouldn't make a difference).Have tried IFrames, ILayers, client-side Javascript -- only thing that'sworked well has been an ActiveX control, and some of our users now say theyaren't allowed to use ActiveX controls, and others only use Netscape so theyaren't served at all by this solution. We're thinking a Java applet is theway to go. So, before I take the time to learn the language and try writingone ...Can Java do this? It would be perfect if it could also change printersettings (landscape, no header/footer, margins, background images), but justbeing able to send a series of URLs to an applet and having it print themwithout the user having to deal with a print dialog for each one would be amajor victory at this point.Please reply, even if your answer is "clueless newbie, it's too simple toeven show an example." I checked this and the java.general newsgroups, andquestions about printing tend to go unanswered. So please do share, even ifyou don't think you have much to share. Thanks!Kris EibenAutomation Creations, Inc.BTW If there's an applet (doesn't have to be free, or even cheap) alreadyout there that does this, please point the way. I've looked everywhere Iknow to look (including JARS) and haven't seen even one that does anythinglike this.
