Print Tool - Urgent help

SrisheelaDevabhaktuni — Sun, 09 May 2010 11:50:52 GMT

Hello,
I am making an application using the examples from the Javascript API. I need to make a tool for printing the map. Can someone please give me some directions? The examples from ArcScripts has code using C# and Java etc.

If this is not possible without them or if there is a workaround, I would like to find out.

Thanks in advance
Sheila

My understanding is that it is not possible merely by using the Javascript API. You do have to use C# or Java on the server side.

The assumption is that for print, you need high-resolution output. Otherwise you would just use a print-screen operation.
You have to basically re-implement the map service (server side), for print format.

Sorry if that's a discouraging answer. But it is doable.

Does anybody have some steps explaining how to print then? I've got a Javascript web app and users are wanting to print from it. Is there any examples on how to get this done?

This bundle of samples contains printing examples: http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/javascript/arcgis/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=16092

I also just noticed this in the code gallery: http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/javascript/arcgis/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=16953
