Advanced features for printing HTML

This page illustrates some advanced uses of ScriptX to print HTML.

Specify margins in script that override user defaults (large and in inches, e.g 1.5 inch top margin).
Specify the printing of background color & images even if the user default is to not print background colour.
Promptless printing is used.
The IFrame can be previewed (as well as printed) on its own.
The printing of another (html) document by downloading and printing in the background.
Waiting for the completion of print spooling and indication that printing is in progress is implemented in the script.
Internet Explorer's default printing User Interface is disabled (this is an advanced feature option).

Setting the required print attributes is easy:

        
          
          
              
              function SetupPrint() {
    // set the print parameters we require                
    const p = MeadCo.ScriptX.Printing;
    p.header = "MeadCo's ScriptX Advanced printing 
                    example";
    p.footer = "The de facto standard for advanced 
                    web-based printing";
    if ( MeadCo.Licensing.IsLicensed() ) {
        p.SetMarginMeasure(2); // margins in inches
        p.leftMargin = 0.75;
        p.topMargin = 1.5;
        p.rightMargin = 0.75;
        p.bottomMargin = 1.5;
        p.printBackground = true;
        // disable IE native printing UI
        p.disableUI = true; 
    }
    else {
        // disable options when no license ...
    }
}
