Hi,
I use this one . It`s very simple buit it works OK .

1. create file print.bat with : print /D:\\servername\printername\\location\print.txt inside .
2. in code a use:
Process proc = new Process();
proc.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
Process.Start("\\print.bat");
proc.Close();

Good enough, but I think the OP needs to know more about setting up the user configured for IIS to make it work for him :)

Or try following :
Map Datamax network share into LPT1 and then use SHELL command to copy label to LPT1 .
