Hi all. In webdev23, is there any way to print directly in a p.o.s. printer without using pdf?

Thanks in advance for your help

Directly? No...

However, if you have control of the browser settings, it MAY be possible using a java applet (developed in windev) embedded in your page. There are examples of this kind of things available.

The problem is that java applets are now considered as a security problem by browsers in general (because, as stated above, they are not limited to the browser sandbox), so there will be some testing to do, some settings to find, and some parayer that a browser update will not kill the whole printing system in the future...

This is one of the reason why trying to develop a full web solution is not a good idea. I truly prefer a replicated windev system.
