16 Do you mean this? You submit stuff through http, then you want the
17 server to process it and then generate a printable page?

19 The simplest way is to have the server to produce a properly laid out
20 HTML page, and in the body tag, do this: onLoad="window.print()", so
21 it'll look like <body onLoad="window.print()">. Then all you have to do
22 at the client side is to accept the print.
