Hi --
I have an ASP (not .Net) web application that needs to Print Server Side.
In response to let's say Orders being placed, the server would perhaps print
the pick sheets to some printer in the warehouse.
This is purely hypothetical application description as the actual
application is much more convoluted, but basically does this.
When I am on the server itself, and access it with IE on the same machine it
works, but when I am remote then it doesn't.
The printing itself is being done in a VB activex control. It sets a printer
active by device name, and then uses the Printer object to print a hand
coded report. The printers themselves are placed into the registry by
copying the hives containing them to the hkey_users.default.
Basically this all works when you are physically on the server. Once you go
to a different machine, it stops working. I assume that it has something to
do with what happens with the IUSER_<MACHINENAME> or the RUN AS aspect of
the IIS service.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.
