We have been using ScriptX to auto print a document for quite some time and it has worked fine.  Now we have some clients going to windows7/IE 8.

I've installed the new version (7.2.0.36) on my windows 7 client , and it picks up ScriptX and shows it in the Manage Add-ons -> but now my print dialog displays and just sits there.  It doesn't actually print without the user hitting enter.

The code is pretty simple :

if (factory.object != null)  with (factory.printing)

  header = document.title;

  print(false,self);

else --code to handle if scriptx could not be found

---------

I know it is finding scriptX because i put an alert in to make sure....but the print(false,self) is not working...it brings up the print dialog but then stops.

what am I missing?

HI Kellie

 

Are you sure that you're using the correct arguments for 'Print'?

 

'false' means 'promptless printing which - usually - isn't available in 'free' use.

 

So where it won't work, what you're seeing is what we would expect .... the user being prompted to print, just as if they did right-click | Print on the page.

 

(Once the Print dialog appears, the required next step is *always* a manual action from the user)
