Best way to print

[Jerim79]

We have a database with a javascript frontend. This front end allows us
to view and print records. We are looking for the "most efficient" way
to print. I know there is a print() function, but is there another way
to do it? There is no particular problem, we just want to make sure
that we are printing the most efficient way.

I know this falls outside this discussion group, but would anyone
suggest something outside of javascript? Is there a better
way/language? The way the system works, is it when it goes to print, it
saves the information to be printed to a file on the server, and then
prints that file. We could use almost any language to print that file
from there, if anyone knows of a better way. (I.E. Is there a print
funtion in another language that is faster?)

Define efficient. What resource are you trying to save?

They're all faster than the printer, so what does it matter?
