Unable to run shell command that prints file using DOS in ASP.NET

Hi,

I have an ASP.NET application using VB.NET.I am sending a DOS command
to a machine on the network to print a file.
This is achieved using xp_cmdshell
Dim str As String = "xp_cmdshell ""type " & nwkfilepath & " >
" & pPrinterName & " """

and str is executed in the MSSQL Master database which has got
permissions to do it.
Problem Statement
******************
The same functionality could not be achieved using shell or
diagnostics namespace.The user ASP.NET has
already been given admin rights(as this is the user that executes an
aspx page)

Any help would be highly appreciated as this has snowballed into a
major production issue.
Regards
