Yes I am doing almost exactly what your doing, but my problem lies in the
.pdf format. Say I have my .pdf on server. First, I need to get it to
client. Second I need to send to printer, but I haven't found a way w/out
using Adobe Reader. I haven't found a pure .NET solution and I am not sure
there is one b/c of the .pdf format. I am willing to use Sql Reporting
Services or a different format that can print at a quality relatively equal
to .pdf.

thanks.
