RE: Printing from ASP.NET application

Hi stullhe,

From your description, you're wondering how to set the client-side printer
when performing printing on ASP.NET web page ,correct?

As for this question, based on my understanding, ASP.NET web application's
code logic is purely focus on server-side processing, therefore, any
server-side .NET code that deal with printer will only affect the server
machine's printer setting(of the ASP.NET service account). For
client-side,

the common client-side script(such as javascript) only support very simple
print operation(such as print the current page):

<script language="javascript">
window.print();
</script>

if you need rich and advanced control over printing setting at client-side,
I think you may consider host some rich client component on your page(such
as ActiveX control or IE hosted .net winform control):

#Printing in ASP.NET
http://www.beansoftware.com/ASP.NET-Tutorials/Printing-Reporting.aspx

http://vb-printer.vista-files.org/

btw, for SQL Reporting Service it provide a ReportViewer control, however,
as far as I know, that control also need the client user to interactively
select the printer , but can not predefined a printer from ASP.NET
server-side code.

I've been looking at the printing options in an ASP.NET application for a
way
to print a report to a specific printer.

I see an option in Crystal Reports to use a PrintToPrinter command but I
don't really want to use Crystal Reports, I'd rather use the RDCL or SQL
Server Reporting Services.

In essence, each of my workstations will have multiple printers attached.
One will be a regular printer (desktop), a second is a 1 inch label
printer
and the third is a 4 inch label printer.

I don't want the end user to have to view the report and then select the
printer it is to go to, I want to be able to specify in code that a report
is
to be printed to the 4 inch label printer. The next report may go to the
desktop printer and the next to the 1 inch label printer.

I know which report goes where, I just need to be able to specify in code
where I want it printed.

Is there a way to accomplish this using ASP.NET in a web based application?

Thank you,
