title: Printer Friendly Layouts
body: <p>I am looking to create a product ordering and invoicing system using PHP/MySQL. I am currently doing this in Microsoft Excel, purely because I can easily print out what's on screen and I know exactly what the output will be before printing.</p>
  
  <p>Can the same result be acheived with a web-based system? For example once an order is complete, I want to be able to print out the invoice with everything within the width of an A4 page.</p>
  
  <p>Is it simply a case of just specifying width properties on the tables? Also will I first need to load up a printer friendly version of the page or can I just click on a "Print" button which automatically prints out the printer friendly version?</p>
