Does anyway know anyway to automatically spool a image file to a printer without user intervention?

Directly through asp.net, I do not believe that it is possible. This is because .net code runs on server side and not client side. A workaround to this may be by use of javascripting. If you want to print a picture, consider using the OnLoad event of the Body object, using it to open another window and print containing the picture that you want to print:
<body OnLoad="window.open('print.aspx','','');">
...And in print.aspx
<script language=javascript>
function PrintMe()
{
window.blur(); //set this to background object
window.print();
window.close(); //close it before user ever sees it
}
</script>
<body OnLoad="PrintMe();">
Hope that helps =D

I'm actually looking for the data output to occur server side.
I'm pretty sure its possible using the system.Drawing.Printing Namespace
and the System.Drawing.Graphics namespace
Just wondering if someone had done it before or knew of anyplace to see some examples.
