Printing in ASP.NET (Replay to John Timney (Microsoft ASP.NET MVP))

[Sharone Shani]

Hi John, thanks for your replay.

What I'm trying to do is as follows:

We are hosting a server, which is used by our clients. We
have a printing object written in Visual Basic.NET. I
want to use this object to allow our clients to print
some of our web pages, using this object, in their own
local printer. In other words, I need to somehow trasform
this Printing object into HTML so I'd be able to send it
back to the client (the client machine of our client) so
he'd be able to print it in his own local printer.

Is it possible?

Thanks again,

Sharone.

You cant print on behalf of the client to the clients
printer as that would
be quite a security breech - you could probably print to
a shared printer
assuming you could get the asp.net account to run as
someone who has access
to a shared printer from the server. I would start by
loggin into the
server as a user with access to that printer and checking
it will work - and
then using Impersonation to alter who the asp.net account
runs as and work
from there.
