Olly,
1. How do I generate an invoice from the shopping cart stage…..
2. From there how do I automatically print it.
Thanks in advance.
11 March, 2015 at 12:07 am #8314re 1: i don’t know what you mean, please elaborate (you can print stuff from the order history in the admin of course)
re 2: you cannot automatically print stuff (well, you can but not the way I think you mean).
*very simplistically speaking*, software/scripts cannot access hardware (unless your hardware is setup to accept certain software commands).
imagine if this were possible and i write a script/website that automatically can print to your printer.
so, when you come to my – malicious – site i force your printer to print 10000000000000 pages without your say so…(again, this is very simplistic, but will give you an idea – then again, maybe i am misunderstanding what you are after)
in summary somewhat: software is not allowed to access hardware without the hardwares “say so”, but you can setup (some) hardware to respond to certain software commands. see also post below
11 March, 2015 at 12:16 am #8315the only way (I know of anyway) to automatically print is to have a net connected printer that does one of the following
a) checks a set email account and prints anything that comes into that account
b) a cloud print connected printer
c) a printer that has some other interface to the net one could script things for
d) a gprs enabled printer where you can send sms toall which will – at a minimum – require the printer to be connected to the net or phone network in some way and has (been given) permission to do the above

Clarifications….
1. I am talking about, once an order is placed….
– A list of items ordered/purchased is sent too the merchant as well as the customer via email.
– also includes customer shipping address2. Once an invoice is generated it is emailed to for example [email protected]. From there, there is something that prints all mail going to that account.
– I am asking how to send that invoice to that email account and cc the customer12 March, 2015 at 4:29 pm #8351i’m probably missing something…
what occurs to me is this:
the customer has already got his invoice – that’s the email he received, no ?
(and you can set up your receiver email to be [email protected] anyway . either as main or as bcc or whatever)with regards to printing, i already answered that above i believe

there seems to be some miscommunication here. I will break this problem up in steps and lets solve it in small pieces….
How do I save the customer name, and shipping address once he has placed his order in the shopping cart?

I have tried setting up the “place your order” button but it does not work.

you are pointing to the wrong page
>..solve it in small pieces….
stop using a hacked site/theme for one….i have talked to you about this about a million times now.13 March, 2015 at 11:56 am #8383Olly,
Ok. so then how would you recommend me go about fixing the hacked site?
Do I reinstall wp-pizza over this one or uninstall it and reinstall it?
Please advise…
13 March, 2015 at 12:00 pm #8384sorry, i am not the person that fixes your site. has also nothing to do with the wppizza plugin
