DOS COMMAND through IE with ActiveX(Client Side)

[delaro]

I am building a Financial Web Application and need to send a text file from Internet Explorer(client side) to a DOS Shell to print to a Dot Matrix Printer. This may sound odd, but I need to print in text mode(not supported in IE only DOS) not graphical mode. Banks still like to use these old bad boys.

Anywyas, can I use ActiveX to send commands to a DOS Shell from IE? The DOS Command would be something like "text test.txt >> prn". Again, this needs to be on the client side.

Thanks,
Darren
