Subject: Re: How to print a word document automatically from a web browser

In my country we usually say...(translated) "Don't say 'we won' too
early!".

The code you give me works well, but if I launch more than 2 or 3
documents to print (e.g. 10) the behaviour is not good.

Some documents are spooled correctly, some are spooled but a "The page
cannot be found" is printed and others are opened with Word on the
client, sometimes Word throw an error.

Could you tell me the matter of this?

Thank you.

Massimo.
