Web App - Printing client side

Hi,

I need my VB.NET web app inventory system to be able
to print barcodes to the client machine's secondary
(zebra barcode) printer. I've been told this isn't
possible, also that it's possible only w/ Active-X
objects - are either of these true? Any ideas?

Thanks!

The only standard way of printing on the client-side is "window.print()",
which gives a popup where you can cancel printing or select a printer to use.
This is NOT configurable, due to security restrictions. You will also
get headers and footers in this printout. These probably will cause
errors on your barcode printer.

With locally installed ActiveX components you may be able to choose the printer,
remove headers/footers etc.
Sorry, I don't have any details on such components.
