Hi,

If you are showing the reciept in a seperate aspx page with a print button and the window screenshot can do your work,i guess this should do it for you.

<asp:button id="btnPrintbtn" runat="server" onclick="window.print();" xmlns:asp="#unknown">

You can design the receipt using ssrs or any other reporting services and get the print done.

Just use "window.print()". It's a javascript function.

Ok, if you don't want to use JS functions then Use below process:

Process 1:

C#

#region PrintLogicNew
            string fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Request.Path).Substring(0, System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Request.Path).Length - 5);
            Utilities.Common obj_Common = new Utilities.Common();
            hdfPrintCacheId.Value = fileName + Session.SessionID + "Print";
            Cache.Insert(hdfPrintCacheId.Value, dvPrint, null, DateTime.MaxValue, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(Convert.ToDouble(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["CacheExpiryTime"])));
            #endregion

Process 2:

At HTML Page

ASP.NET

<asp:hiddenfield id="hdfPrintCacheId" runat="server" xmlns:asp="#unknown" />
                                                                    <a href="#" onclick="JavaScript:openPrintWindowWithQueryString('<%=hdfPrintCacheId.Value %>');">
                                        <img src="../Images/print.gif" style="border: none" /></a>

Above process will help you. :-D
