I am using mPDF (http://mpdf.bpm1.com) to create pdf receipts, but at the moment they only display on a full A4 page.
I would like to resize them down to a reasonable size because we are using a epson tm-t88iv. This is the first dilemma I have.
The second problem I have involves invoking auto print on the printer attached.
I would like to do this when the form is processed (on the same page).
But I’m not sure how to implement this into the code I have right now:
<?php
// post
$id = $_GET['id'];
$user = $_GET['user'];
$week = $_GET['week'];
$pRent = $_GET['pRent'];
$rentPaid = $_GET['rentPaid'];
$result = $_GET['result'];
$pDate = date("d/m/Y");
$html = '
<style>
@page {
margin-top: 20px;
margin-left: 20px;
}
</style>
<div style="text-align:center; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="border: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 175px; text-align:center;">
<img src="resources/speedline.png" width="161" height="58" />
<p style="font-weight: bold;" align="center">
DRIVER '.$id.' RECEIPT</p>
<p style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'.$week.'</p>
<span style="font-size: 10px;">PROCESSED BY '.$user.'</span><p>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" >
<tr>
<td align="left" style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">DATE PAID</td>
<td style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" align="right">'.$pDate.'</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left"></td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TOTAL RENT</td>
<td style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" align="right">£'.$pRent.'</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RENT PAID</td>
<td style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" align="right">£'.$rentPaid.'</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left"> </td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">REMAINING</td>
<td align="right" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">£'.$result.'</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
<span style="font-size:8px">THANK YOU FOR YOUR PAYMENT. PLEASE KEEP THIS RECEIPT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. YOU WILL BE ASKED TO PRESENT IT AS EVIDENCE OF PAYMENT MADE.</span>

$mpdf=new mPDF('UTF-8-s','');
$mpdf->WriteHTML($html);

Try:
$mpdf = new mPDF(”, ‘Letter’, 0, ”, 12.7, 12.7, 14, 12.7, 8, 8);
and adjust the values at the end for the margins you want. Check out their documentation
Sorry, not sure about auto printing, but there is some info here
