dear sir,

In our JSF/JSP application we have requirement to print Invoice from
client side on web browser.

The requirement is : when user press print button, the report get
printed to printer silently (without any previewing on client side ) ?

Thank you,
Krist

Every browser I've used has a print button. How silent that is depends on
whether you're using a line printer, dot matrix, laser, ink jet, ...

Whether they preview it is not controllable from the server side. It's client
behavior and therefore outside the server application's demesne.

For fine-grained control of the appearance of the printed matter, use
something like iText to generate an RTF or PDF version. Again, whether that
goes directly to printer is controlled by client-side settings, not server side.

Use javascript.print()

Google javascript print for examples and so forth

Not if you open a new window and specify that there is to be no
toolbar.

google javascript window open

Agreed. For the person that suggested that, note that
'Ctrl n' in one of the more popular browsers will produce
that same page in a proper windowed browser view - so it
is easy to blow away any 'security' provided by lack of
a toolbar (but still irritating to see it used).

Change that requirement, it's useless. You're not able to let the
client choose which printer should be used with the effect that e.g.
in my case you would try to fax it.

Are the users unknown, i.e. not inside an intranet: Forget it.
If they are inside an intranet, the JSP-server can print on the
user's printer directly which would solve yuor problem.

May depend on what meaning of "madam" you are talking about.

No, not security. ALL security is handled at the server.

I create a totally "empty" browser window, just a frame really. I gain
quite a bit of real estate in the process (internal web app).
