Printing document in text mode

[getmeidea]

Hi all,

[CODE=javascript]function printReport() {
frames['iframeReport'].print();
}[/CODE]

The function printReport prints the specified iframe, iframeReport.
I am using dot matrix printer. I want it to be printed in text mode so that the printing will be done much faster.

How can i print this in text mode.

Thank you,

You don't have much control over printing using JavaScript.

The best thing to do is to create a text version and print that instead. You can use print media stylesheets (probably the better method) or JavaScript.

Thanks for your solution.

I don't have very good idea in specifying print medial through style sheet. I have searched for it in web but i couldn't find out.

Can you send me some examples that specifies print media through stylesheet , or some url for the reference.
