Re: PL/SQL output to printer?

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I should have asked if the OWS 4.0 has a way to send output to the printer. I'm using the PL/SQL cartridge in the OWS 4.0 What I want to accomplish is: when a user completes an order on the web, I want it to be sent to the printer for fulfillment of the order.
