Browser-Based Printing with MeadCo
ScriptX

Browser-Based Printing with MeadCo
ScriptX 01/03/2005 07:37 PM

I found a peach of a tool today — it was exactly what I was looking for at exactly the right time.

We have a central database at my company, and the guys have been bugging me to work up some enhanced printing for it. They want to be able to print really top-quality reports — you know, the kind that don't look like they were printed from a Web page so they can give them to clients.

I was fiddling around for a while trying to figure out the best way to do it. The obvious solution was to do server-side PDF creation, but all the tools I found left one thing or another to be desired (another post entirely). I thought about linking tables in Access and running reports there, but then we'd have to buy more Access licenses. I even tried instantiating Word client-side and printing to that, but it got to be a mess pretty quickly.

I finally started tackling the problem with CSS. If you use inches for your unit of measurement, set the overflow on your DIVs to "hidden," and use "page-break-before" strategically, you can get some excellent results.

There is, however, one problem: the client's browser printing setup. They probably have their print headers and footers set to something, their page margins are likely all screwy, and they may try to print to portrait when your report is designed for landscape. What to do?

Enter MeadCo's ScriptX. This is an ActiveX control (yes, IE only) that makes IE print the way you want it to without the user hosing things up.

(With SP2 it prompts for installation, but in an intranet environment you can host the CAB file locally and massage security zones via the IE AK to make it transparent.)

For instance, a "Print Me" button on your page could (1) set the header and footer (or — more likely — clear them), (2) set the page margins to whatever value, (3) set the orientation to portait or landscape, and (4) print the currently loaded page to the default printer with no user involvement or prompt (they'd just see the little icon appear in the status bar and pages would start flying off the printer...). From the user's standpoint, it's like magic.

It gets better — you can have ScriptX print the contents of a FRAME or an IFRAME instead of the page it's running in. So you could hide an IFRAME on the page with a printer-friendly version of the displayed content, then print that when the "Print Me" button is clicked. The user would get something totally different than what they were looking at (even far beyond the capabilities of CSS @media rules).

And all that was with the free version.

The advanced version allows you to set the printer, the page size, the collation values, the page range, the number of copies, etc. You can also query printers on the user's system to find out their capabilities. You could very easily use this to print labels to a little Dymo mailing label printer, for instance.

And here's the really cool part: the object can make an independent HTTP call and print the results. So you could have a user paging through a report, but when they press "Print Me," the object goes back to the server to get the entire report and then prints that.

But wait, there's more [cue cheesy informercial guy here] —

It can be used as a server-side COM object too, so it can print stuff based on data in your Web app. Here's a hypothetical — your help desk Web app could accept a new ticket then print a work order to the laser printer sitting next to the computer geek in the department to which the ticket belongs. Or run a batch of reports in the middle of the night and print them to the printer in the CEO's office so they're waiting for him next to his coffee in the morning.

(Mind you, I haven't bought the full version (haven't had to — the free one does everything I need so far), so some of my ranting here is based on my reading of the docs. I could be off a little.)

Needless to say, I'm thrilled. I'm getting PDF-looking results from HTML and CSS, saving me dozens of hours of work. I predict I'll upgrade to the full version before too long.

FeedDemon Crack

FeedDemon Crack 06/18/2004 09:27 AM

Dave Winer and Evan Williams commented that the people who shout the loudest are often the ones who have no basis for their anger. I'm reminded of this fact by an email I received this morning. Here's a quote:

"Fix your piece of s--- program! I upgraded to FeedDemon 1.10 and it crashes with 'Win32 device error.' Did you even test this s---?"

I've actually received a number of emails (and one forum post) about this bug, but I have no plans to fix it. Why? Because the error message only appears if you upgrade a cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0. This is a deliberate error message that FeedDemon 1.10 displays when it detects that you upgraded from a specific cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0.

That's right, people who use a pirated version of FeedDemon are emailing me for support. It never ceases to amaze me when people not only steal from me, but also expect me to spend my time answering their questions. And more often than not, the email I've received about this problem reads like something a drunk teenager would write.

I've written about piracy befor e and I'm not planning to start another lengthy rant. But I do have a request for those who have justified their use of cracked versions of my work: don't ask for support. I support my family with sales of my software, and my life is affected - dramatically - by the existence of cracks. Please, if you're using a pirated version of my software, don't expect me to help you.

“N ot only is it illegal, but it's becoming increasingly dangerous,” Leggio said of underage drinking. How dangerous? Well apparently dangerous enough that one affluent Kansas City community has decided that it is best to have police spy on teens during high school basketball games. Oh it gets better, apparently a carload of teens is enough for a Lenexa cop to follow you! So the parents should be up in arms right? Nope, they encourage the police, even calling them ("she told dispatchers that when she called home to check on her son, it sounded like a party was going on"). Yet surprisingly, despite this almost police-state like mentality against drinking, atti tudes are slow to change.

New Bluetooth Crack

New Bluetooth Crack 06/05/2005 11:47 PM

Happy Friday:

Cryptographers have discovered a way to hack Bluetooth-enabled devices even when security features are switched on. The discovery may make it even easier for hackers to eavesdrop on conversations and charge their own calls to someone else's cellphone.

"Our attack makes it possible to crack every communication between two Bluetooth devices, and not only if it is the first communication between those devices," says Shaked.

Check out the time required to pull this off:

They show that once an attacker has forced two devices to pair, they can work out the link key in just 0.06 seconds on a Pentium IV-enabled computer, and 0.3 seconds on a Pentium-III. "This is not just a theoretical break, it's practical," says Schneier.

"Don't do crack; it's a ghetto drug"

"Don't do crack; it's a ghetto drug" 06/19/2004 04:52 PM

Fifteen of us gathered last night for a screening of the 1992 Tim Robbins political satire Bo b Roberts.  This mockumentary of a folksinging conservative Wall Street trader turned politician has held up surprisingly well.  In the background of the movie, President Bush is in the White House and American troops are about to invade Iraq.  Gore Vidal does a great job playing a Ted Kennedy-style career senator.  The songs are fun but sadly the soundtrack has never been made available.

My favorite part of the movie is when Bob Roberts closes a letter to a 7-year-old girl in Vermont with the admonition "Don't do crack; it's a ghetto drug."

This is the perfect movie for an election-year party.

Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ?

Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ? 03/11/2003 01:22 AM
Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ? Now I know that the Slashdot audience isn't all that reliable at best. Yes we all read it but we rarely trust it. Still I'd expect a little better than this: The Object Prevalence concept, developed by the Prevayler team, and implemented in Java, C#, Smalltalk, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby and Delphi, can be a great a solution to this mess. The concept is pretty simple: keep all the objects in RAM and serialize the commands that change those objects, optionally saving the whole system to disk every now and then (late at night, for example). [_Go_] Now that's a cool concept. So I did the natural thing and went and looked for the code. Since I'm a php-head, I figured that I'd look there to start. Nope! According to SourceForge, "This project has not released any files". Well I can get by in Perl so I thought "Ok, not my preference but ok". Nope. Well I think Python is neat and people I respect a lot like it. Additionally Guido has just plain guts to make the decision he did regarding mandatory indentation.
