[REBOL] Re: Using a printer in Windows
From: riusa:email:it at: 18-Apr-2002 9:59
Hi,
I have a non-profit organization, I solved the printing problem making a
rebol program which...
1) format my DB data in HTML format
2) save the file to disk
3) open the HTML file using function "BROWSE"
I think this is a very good solution.
bye!
