Hi,

2 -How to print

I most case the ability to print is made using PDF. This guarantee the look of your document.

The user click on some print functionnality and then a new page containing a PDF doc is generated , the user use the print functionnality.

Here are some tools that will allow you to do that:

Usinf PDF

1 - You can use XSLFO, you make <XLS doc that will be used with an XML doc , you pass this to an XSLFO engine and it is done

2 - You use third part component dedicated to reporting (Dynamics data, Crystal report...)

Without PDF

Depending on the client browser, you can print a HTML page. IE offers these functionnality but the main problem is the print of overflow and other DHTML tag. In order to organize the print (page break;..) , you can use CSS printing extension (http://erraticwisdom.com/2007/01/22/css-printing-guide)
