I have this need to code this. However, the "two" solutions above are about the only way I have found to do this. The problem stems around the "viewstate". Once a page loads the view state is set, and if a user needs to fill out some items and then you want to allow them to print, oops, you have a view state gotcha. So for printing a page after page load, and after a user fills in some form data, then.
1. Put your page out there for user to input.
2. Print button calls asp page using postbackurl. target = _blank, making a popup.
3. On that new page load, use previous.page to fill in the data.
4. From here you can use any method you want, Like that ASP article in Solution #2 or you can use the JavaScript document.print() like Solution #1. And for both you want to have a "onload print call" in the body tag of the page.

Kind of involved, the problem stems from the "viewstate" after a page loads. You could probably code something to change viewstate values of all your items, but, crackers, that would be more time than I have right now.
