Set default printer for web

Hi.

I have a web page and need to set the printer name in order to print a
crystal report.

Here's a piece of the code:

oRpt.PrintOptions.PrinterName ="HP LaserJet 4L";
oRpt.PrintToPrinter(1,false,1,1);

This works great if I only intend to use the hard-coded printer
specified, but how can I get it to open a dialog box and manually
select which printer I want to use to replace the "=HP LaserJet 4L".

Thanks!

Did you not post this in aspnet forum? Why the multi post?

Because no one seemed interested in answering it in the C# thread and I
realized that I probably should have posted it in ASP.Net to avoid the
confusion that someone would think the question would relate to Windows
Forms instead of Web Forms.
