HI I read that link, and probably am a little confused as to what that user was trying to accomplish. Perhaps he was billing open account, and did not have an invoicing program? I did some tests just to see what I remembered correctly from the basic set up on my test store and stores for 2 now live shops. What I (and at least one customer gets) is a copy of the INVOICE sent to the customer when they pay for their order. It shows billing and shipping addresses, all order details, minus the method of payment. It gives the link to check details in the admin panel which, if removed from this document could be used to mail or send an invoice with the shipment. Since this is a copy of the invoice the customer received, we should be able to recreate the invoice in the customer and/or orders section if needed, allowing generation of both an invoice and the current (not well-defined) packing list. I am pursuing that option now as this is especially needed if we change an order amount or quantities from the admin panel. It would also be useful as users coming from another ecommerce system are expecting this feature.

The packing list you can print does not have billing info included in the data passed to it. You would have to make a call to another function, or change the called function, to add billing info then place it in the header area of admin/skins/default/order.print php so that it can be passed to the smarty template system to create the page. But, as noted above, it is not a simple operation and appears to be currently left to the authors to fix/change/update the core funtionality I guess a quick and dirty fix would be to include your email address on a cc or bcc to the email that sends the invoice to the customer.

You shed some light where I had not looked. I have been working with another open source cart for 12 years, only starting a few months ago moving to CubeCart. They did not use Smarty, and I never really did more than play with it a little. There is no text, other than html tags, on this page that is not processed through Smarty. It appears perhaps I did not watch brackets closely enough. A quick test on what you said, IE: about line 36, if I do <div id="storeLabel"> <img src="{$STORE_LOGO}" alt=""> hello text </div> That prints okay. I am going to work a little with understanding how to send what I need to smarty. Also sending you the PM you asked for.

On this same topic, how can one change, move boxes, or edit /admin/skins/default/templates/orders.print.php? Every time I try to change anything on this template, all I get is a blank page. I looked through admin/sources/orders.index.inc.php, and see the notes as to what is done with the page when generated, but see nothing there that would keep an altered templates/orders.print.php from printing. Any suggestions on altering this template and having it print? Thanks....
