Notes:
Invoices & Printing - Browser Override

John would like to over ride the browser print function so he only has to click print once. I was talking to Michael about the same thing and he suggested we also alow the system to defaut to a printer drawer and maybe drive two printers at the same time.

Response by Brandon - Printing from the web gets tricky... In order to control printer settings, you have to use java-script or something that is client side. This could get pretty funky as every setup (printer to computer) may be different. Currently, the system does not have any way of recording or talking to specific hardware on the client side. The browser itself is very neutral and plays with what it finds. I'm not sure we want to get into specific hardware settings. It could lead to a perceived liability of us not being able to talk to a specific device. That could be a can of worms... I'd shy away if at all possible...
