Way to print pdf directly from web application
<p>What are some options to have a website print a pdf file directly to the default printer?</p>

<p>Secondly what are some options to print a pdf file directly to a specific pre-determined printer (i.e. receipt printer)?</p>

<p>In my research it seems like you can't just print directly from a browser (you can't control the user's PC from a browser directly), but what about any type of plug-ins or such that would allow such a thing?</p>

<p>I'd like to offer a "print" button, and as soon as the user clicks it a PDF file is generated behind the scenes and printed directly to the printer (the user doesn't need to see the PDF on the screen).</p>

<p>I'm thinking this isn't possible with the browser alone, but possibly with a browser plug-in or something like that?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
