Question:

Here is the code which generates pdf for me using Reportlab.

Now, it just shows the pdf in the browser, and after including 'attachment' in the resonse.header ['Content-Disposition'], it downloads the pdf.

But what i want is the rint option which comes you in the browser, which even allows you to choose your printer. is it possible ?

data = "raghav" p = canvas.Canvas(self.response.out) p.drawString(50, 700, data) p.showPage() self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/pdf' self.response.headers['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment;filename=testpdf.pdf' p.save()

according to <a href="http://blog.adlibre.org/2012/04/05/automatically-print-pdf-generated-reportlab/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.adlibre.org/2012/04/05/automatically-print-pdf-generated-reportlab/</a> you can add these two lines to get the desired result:

from reportlab.pdfbase import pdfdoc pdfdoc.PDFCatalog.OpenAction = '<</S/JavaScript/JS(this.print\({bUI:true,bSilent:false,bShrinkToFit:true}\);)>>'

hope it helps :)
