I am not sure if someone can help me, but please bare with me for a second...
My problem is to retreive the Client's Printer Collection for a web application and then print to the client's default printer or a printer of his choosing. I know Asp.Net is basically server-side. So I was thinking of using an ActiveX Control which is downloaded on to the client's machine and then the ActiveX control Reads the client's printer settings and use the activeX as client side to do the printing.
Now My question,
1) Could you give me some information, links, articles, tutorial, etc where I can have some sort of intrduction on how to create ActiveX controls through DotNet Technology and then use it within in an ASP.Net Web Application.(Whew...too much to ask for huh? :> )
2) IF this is not possible then is there some work around for this. Becauase lets say I am making a Web Appl for a Large Client whose the Offices are ranged across the country. Now if some employee wants to print something thru the application, then they will print to the Server's Default Printer (which could either be 10 floors up or across town,imagine!!).
So any suggestions,infos,etc w.r.to this would be very much appreciated.
