[Flask] Printing on formatted paper?

[hi at jnnkb.eu]

Hey, I think the easiest way is probably to create a route that contains the information you want in a nicely formated HTML and then let the browser convert that to a PDF. You could also use your normal route (e.g. your standart invoices route) and provide some additional CSS to format it nicely for printing. Maybe this rather old blog post helps you getting started: https://drublic.de/blog/printing-the-web
