I written an asp/vbscript page that the client uses to query our server and automatically download several .xml files to their local system. These are reports that our system automatically generates. Now they want the page to also automatically print the files downloaded, and that's where I run into problems...
I've found a couple ways to print a local file (like printing via it's registered application and a shell command in the windows scripting host) but all of them pop up the print dialog box, and they want it to be transparent to the user; no dialog box...
I've also been able to just write straight to the printer with the file system object (with no prompt), but then the page isn't all nicely formatted like you would see xml in a browser window.
Any ideas? Thanks!
