title: How do I create a web based print server?
body: <p>I have a web based order dispatch system. At the moment, users of the system print out a dispatch note manually (ie, they choose "Print" in their web browser).</p>
  
  <p>I would like to update the system so all the printing is handled by a single dedicated machine. I am expecting it to poll the server to see if anyone needs something printing, then do something to print it. I'm not too sure what that something needs to be.</p>
  
  <p>eg. I can have a page that checks for new print jobs and refreshes itself and uses the javascript print() function, but that obviously still needs someone to press ok. Is there a way to change this behavior. It only has to work on a single PC that I can set up with any options and plugins needed.</p>
  
  <p>Can any of you bright sparks think of a solution that will allow me to get closer to doing what I want to do. eg. Is there a fancy pdf tool that can suck data off the web, fill in a document and print it?</p>
