    copied!<p>I am using mPDF (<a href="http://mpdf.bpm1.com" rel="nofollow">http://mpdf.bpm1.com</a>) to create pdf receipts, but at the moment they only display on a full A4 page. </p> <p>I would like to resize them down to a reasonable size because we are using a epson tm-t88iv. This is the first dilemma I have. </p> <p>The second problem I have involves invoking auto print on the printer attached. </p> <p>I would like to do this when the form is processed (on the same page). </p> <p>But I'm not sure how to implement this into the code I have right now:</p> <pre><code> &lt;?php // post $id = $_GET['id']; $user = $_GET['user']; $week = $_GET['week']; $pRent = $_GET['pRent']; $rentPaid = $_GET['rentPaid']; $result = $_GET['result']; $pDate = date("d/m/Y"); $html = ' &lt;style&gt; @page { margin-top: 20px; margin-left: 20px; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;div style="text-align:center; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt; &lt;div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 175px; text-align:center;"&gt; &lt;img src="resources/speedline.png" width="161" height="58" /&gt; &lt;p style="font-weight: bold;" align="center"&gt; DRIVER '.$id.'
