Where do you want to print it using ASP?

On the server printer?
On the client priner?
On the client screen?

What do you mean by page?

Perhaps give an example of your code.

--On the client priner & On the client screen

What do you mean by page?
--the output of executed asp page

since, the large string, that i want to print thru asp, contains many
lines i want to insert a proper page break in a print page, with a
common header.

ASP does not know about client browser or client printing.
Please follow up on a clientside scriptng or css NG's for the below.

================

You cannot print to the client's printer with normal browser's security
settings.

Printing on the screen with HTML is usually not called so,
but the rendered HTML "is" the WWW-way to fill the client's screen.

That is the rendered HTML.

common header.

Use CSS printing options, like:

<p STYLE="page-break-before: always">test text in the paragraph</p>

if you want the user to print the page that is on the screen:

<http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/propindex/print.htm>

use @media print {} for options setting specific to printing

Again, not an ASP isue.
