Printing to Web Server Printer

[msmith425]

I'm developing a small web app that takes the users name from a web form and prints it out to a label printer.

My problem is that I don't know how to go about printing. I do not want to print the web form just the data that the user has entered. The printer is a special label printer but it will be connected from the web server so no client side code needed.

I don't know if I should capture the information to a file and then print or ir it can be printed directly.

TIA
Marc

Look up "System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument"

You can user system.drawing to draw directly to the printer.

Here are some of the lines of code.

The sub PrintDocPage actually writes to the printer

Dim printDoc As System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument = _
New System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument()
AddHandler printDoc.PrintPage, AddressOf PrintDocPage

printDoc.Print()
