  1. POSilent Printing with TideSDK

    text
    <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> I've decided to use appjs for my project, rather than TideSDK. With AppJS, you are able to easily make node modules, in which you can add C++ modules for easy use of silent printing. I'd recommend anyone interested in the topic to check it out. Best of luck to you all!</p> <p>I'm developing an application with TideSDK - It's a really awesome framework, if you haven't tried it, set some time aside!</p> <p>Anyway, I'm attempting to print using Javascript, but a Print Settings dialog comes up each time, as it would with other browsers. I'm trying to eliminate that box as well as pass along the printer I would like it to print with.</p> <p>I'm aware that there are settings in FireFox for silent printing, that is was I used previously, but there aren't any similar options for TideSDK (That I have found).</p> <p>After a ton of research, I think the only viable options consist of a python script, a C++ module or editing the TideSDK source and recompiling. All three sound like loosers to me. Modifying the TideSDK source and removing the dialog box from <code>webkit_ui_delegate.cpp</code> will most likely result in some issues when updating this program down the road - in addition to not being able to pass the printer name easily. The python script would require third party modules and would have to process the contents of the page, I doubt I would be able to write something that could do a quality job in that respect. Finally, I think the C++ solution is the most feasible since it has access to win32api, but again, it would have to process HTML to a print language, something i'm not familiar with. I guess i'm looking for more of a webkit solution that handles the rendering for me.</p> <p><strong>What should I do to implement silent printing on TideSDK? Please include code examples.</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>I'm looking for a <strong>windows</strong> solution primarily, I've already figured out the other platforms.</p> </blockquote> <p>Thank you for your time and I appreciate the feedback!</p>
