You can't print out a PDF to the local users printer without opening a new window or frame, and you'll need Javascript to do that as well. What you could do is open up the new window, run the print command on that window with Javascript, and then user Javascript to close that window afterwards. This relies on the user having a PDF reader plugin in their browser. I doubt I'm alone when I say that I hate this plugin, and tend to remove it on my computers, in which case, the PDF will attempt to be downloaded by the browser. There's nothing that PHP can do with this, as PHP has nothing to do with what the user agent (browser) does with the content. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
