Hi,



Subject line says it all except VB.NET preferred, but C# would be okay

too.



Thanks a lot,



Peter

The Server cannot print - you'll need to use the client (such as JavaScript). check the "print" function in any JS reference



This is for security reasons - you wouldn't want a user to load up a page, and then the server takes over the printer

By its very nature, server side code can't print. The server has no

user interface, which includes printing.



Write the output to a file and then have the user/admin print it

themselves when they need to.

I don't think that's strictly the case; if you wrote code on the server to

do printing (e.g. www.c-sharpcorner.com/Printing.asp)">www.c-sharpcorner.com/Printing.asp) and you gave

your ASP.NET worker process permissions (or did impersonation) to use the

printer, I don't see why it wouldn't work.



That said, yes, you really want to think through the security implications.
