Printing from server

9 years ago in Server Solutions • updated by 8 years ago • 2

Me:

We can save data into the sql database
We can trend/graph this data
We can send an email
Can I send a report of this data to a printer so it is printed on paper?
For this job in particular they want to be able to print the current state of all the lights.

iRidium:

...you can save the data in the CSV file. Then open it in Excel and print.
You can also collect information from the database, making for example the XML file and send it to some external service to print. Again you may do it through the scripts.

Me:

Can you please give me a sample project with saving data to a csv file.

iRidium:

to save a CSV file you can only via a web interface of server.

Me:

can I get an example of the second option please - what external service do you recommend?

iRidium:

I am not aware of similar resources, but perhaps such a service can be made locally.

Please add a feature to allow printing of data collected on the server to allow automated reporting of data
