Help! printing issuses in kiosk mode.

yos · 10-07-2012, 09:05 AM

Hi,
in my site that works on an information kiosk i have a printing option (silent printing, kiosk mode),
the thing is the printing takes some time and pepole keep pressing the print button and jaming the printer,
how can i make a pop-up when they print that will stay open for like 20 seconds
and simpley says "please wait for your print...).
thanks alot in advance.
