This should be possible using the NativeInterface property of a portal. The nativeInterface property gives you the IWebBrowser2 interface for the portal, which in tern has an ExecWB() method. You can use this method to print the contents of the portal.

Here’s an example:

Sub Main(Client, GWEvent)

   dim iPortals
   dim iPortal1
   dim iret

   Set iPortals = GroupWise.PortalManager.Portals
   Set iPortal1 = iPortals.Item("PORTAL1")

   If iPortal1 is Nothing Then
     Set iPortal1 = iPortals.Add
     iPortal1.Caption = "Advansys Home"
     iPortal1.TabCaption = "Advansys"
     iPortal1.ID = "PORTAL1"
     iPortal1.NavigationControlsEnabled = True
     iPortal1.URLInputEnabled = True
     iPortal1.Url = "www.advansyscorp.com"
   else
     MsgBox "Found it - try to print it"
     const IDM_PRINT = 6
     call iPortal1.NativeInterface.ExecWB(IDM_PRINT, -1)
   End If

End Sub

This is somewhat incomplete, because the printer selection dialog still appears. I understand it should be possible to turn this off by using flags. See the Microsoft Documentation on the IWebBrowser2.ExecWB() method, and the IDM_PRINT command. More information is available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/browser/mshtml/reference/constants/idm_print.asp.

I hope this helps.

You can use Portal.HTML property to get the HTML source for each Portal. Setting the HTML property will render the page within the Portal. See Formativ Language Guide (Portal object) for more information.

If you use Portal.URL to set Portal contents then you can use example code below to extract Portal HTML, update contents and reset.

  
   Set oPortals = GroupWise.PortalManager.Portals
   Set oPortal1= oPortals.Item("PORTAL1")

  If not (oPortal1 is nothing) then
   iHtml = oPortal1.html
   iHtml = replace(iHtml, "about:blank", "NewText", vbTextCompare)
   oPortal1.html = iHtml
  end if

  set oPortals = nothing
  set oPortal1 = nothing

Alternatively, if you use Portal.HTML to set page contents at the beginning then you should update it prior to set.

Thanks for the clarification.

Browsers usually set to add title, date, page number and URL to any page printed from the Internet. You will need to change browser print settings. Link below shows steps to change print settings (follow the Internet Explorer 6 & 7 instructions):
