Hi,
I need to build a server-side print system for any of my webform.
I "just" need to print text, keep position (table,<tr>,<td>, etc) and
replace controls with text.

As it will be extended to all the asp.net applications of my company,
I'm tryin to build a generic stuff.
I've been struggling with that for days until starting to work with
xsl.

I'm currently working from the html my webforms return.
HTML + XSL => XHTML
XHTML + XSL => XSL:FO

XSL:FO => PDF (using NFOP)
Send file to printer.

My question is : Am I right doing this way ? It's kind of a complex way
of sending html to printer.
By the way, as it will soon be necessary to send result by email
instead of printing it, I think I'm not doin wrong using xsl and pdf
generation.

THks for your help.
