Printing Multiple Invoices

[Brent Doud]

Currently my customers print invoices one-by-one. Some would like to select
multiple invoices and click view and then print them all at once instead of
opening each one first.
It seems that ShopSite 6 and IE 6 don't print multiple invoices correctly.
We always end up with half an invoice on one page and the other half on
another page.

Anyone know a way around?

There is no way for a web-based program to be able to force your printer to
print each order on different pages when you are viewing them on an HTML page
through your browser all at once, and as far as I know you don't have control
over where the pagination is when you print from the IE browser, either.

One option is to save the screen as an HTML file, open in in an word processor
application and space things out so that they appear as they want when you
print them. You can even delete the OK button after the last order, X out part
of the CC number, remove the cc gateway auth codes, and insert a custom logo or
business address before you print them if you want.

I just tried this with M$ Word, and it worked like a charm. Just save the View
Orders screen as an .html document and you can open it in Word. WordPerfect is
probably similar.

Loren,

Netscape seems to print them correctly. This is why I thought it was a
ShopSite problem with IE or an IE setting somewhere.

You are probably just getting lucky with Netscape, or it is smart enough to
figure out not to separate tables onto separate pages unless it is too big.
There is no HTML tag a program like ShopSite could use to indicate where to
break a page for printing purposes.

ACTUALLY,

I found that Netscape 4.7 separates the invoices page to page correctly, but
Netscape 6.1 does not, so now I have 2 versions of Netscape on my machine, just
printing the orders using the old version.

Add the following text at the end of the order footer. This will cause a
page break.
