Server Side Printing

[ivow]

Hi All,

I was wondering if I could have ASP (or maybe VBScript) send a completed
form to my server's default printer, everytime it is submitted. I already
have it being e-mailed but we also have the need for a paper copy
automatically?

Is there a way to do this?

TIA

Ivo

Yes, it is possible. You should use Scripting.FileSystemObject and WScript.Network objects. The Network object should be used to open a printer connection, and the FileSystemObject - to create an output file that will be sent to the printer. You will also need to create a "generic" network user that will have an access to the printer; otherwise, you will have to pass your (or your colleagues') user ID and password every time you print your form.
I don't have a code to display a sample, but you will probably find plenty of information on the web.
