[OpenLayers-Users] Question to OpenLayers and printing

[Kai Behncke]

Dear users,

at:

https://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/Mapfishprintfornewbies

you find now a tutorial how to get mapfish-openlayers-wms-prints in a small application.

I hope it will be useful to someone.

Best regards, Kai
