Use PostScript - Re: Browser Print Margin Control

If they are sending you the form then why do you need them to print it and send it back to you?

Why don't you take the data and superimpose it on the IRS form on your server and then you can have absolute control on how it prints.

If you want to control how a document prints you will likely need to learn Adobe's PostScript language which is a language for controlling how documents print. There are commands in PostScript that allow you to set the margin to whatever you like.

And PostScript is fun, in a twisted kind of way. Stack based languages are neat. You have complete control over every aspect of document rendering with PostScript, margins are just the tip of the iceberg. I used to use it to print up my own made up magic cards. (Of course nowadays, I'd probably script it in perl with the gimp or GD). -pete Entropy is not what is used to be.	[reply]
