Hi,
It depends on how your printer can be accessed. Is there a driver for
it? The most simple way might be using ShellExecute (under windows)
but I found no way to supress the print dialog.
Another way is using win32com module and instantiate an IE automation
object, which you feed a HTML page and issue a print. Be careful about
printing too fast allow it 4-5 seconds to process or successive print
jobs will fail.
Here is a snippet of code to get you on your way;
from win32com import client
ie = client.Dispatch ("InternetExplo rer.Application ")
ie.Navigate(fn) # fn = filename (to temp file) to print
time.sleep(2)
ie.ExecWB(6, 2)
time.sleep(2)
ie.Quit()
ie = None
For successive prints it is better to instantiate one IE object per
multiple print jobs, but once done, release it and set it up again.
