I haven't had the time to keep up with all the EU developments, so excuse me if this is a repeat. I have been developing a web app and have run into the problem of printing nicely formatted reports. I have come to the conclusion that I am going to need to write my own 'Print Engine'. By print engine I mean an app I can call from the browser, feed it args such as headers, footers, timestamps and items like that. The browsers give no control over stuff like that, and I need to control them along with the printing of background images of the html page. Would Eu be suited for this? Also, I have seen some comments about X-windows. Does Eu run under X and/or Linux?
