ASP.NET and client printing

I will be developing a new web-app (ASP.NET), this web-app needs to be able
to print invoices, letters, forms, etc. to specific printer(s) on the
client's pc. I know that one could create a printable page in the browser
and call window.print() using javascript but this way the end-user still has
to select a printer and click Ok to start printing (each invoice/letter). I
would like to automate this, if I print an invoice it should be directed to
the correct printer automatically without any user intervention.

Does anyone know of a solution ? ... maybe 3rd party ...

You are trying to get a client side function to happen from server side
code. Not going to happen. Only client-side code can print to the client.
