Print a HTML file

[Fabry]

Hi, I am writting a program to show and print the bulletin of Lotto and SuperEnalotto.

I have made a html page whith IE UDF and now I want to print.

I export the html page in html file and use _PrintFile()

Func _PrintFile($filetoprint)
    RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c rundll32.exe ' & @SystemDir & '\mshtml.dll,PrintHTML "' & $filetoprint, @TempDir, @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc   ;==>_PrintFile

Using this function, it prints headers and footings (number of page, URL, date and Time) and the print area is reduced.

How can I change margins? And how can I delete headers?

With print preview You can do this things, I know, but I want to be done in comand line.

You intend this UDF.

I have already an html with a table in. How can I write this table with that udf?

Have a look at the registry key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\PageSetup

Best approach is to read and store the old values, write the new ones, invoke the print function, and then restore the old values.

If you invoke printing with something like $oIE.document.parentwindow.Print(), then you can reset the values immediately after that call; your custom values will be used for that instance of the print dialogue.

I wrote myself a UDF for this, but it's not really fit for public consumption at this time.

I understand this.

Instead, how can I reset the values? Using the registry key?

Thanks a lot, I will use the first solution.
