You can use this code for aspx

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

        function fnPrint() {
            var a = window.open('', '', 'left =' + screen.width - 100 + ',top=' + screen.height - 10 + ',width=0,height=0,toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,status=0');
            a.document.write(document.getElementById('receipt').innerHTML);
            a.document.close();
            a.focus();
            //call print
            a.print();
            a.close();

        }
      
    </script>

For Extjs :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   text: '' + printReceipt_lbl + '',
                 handler: function () {
                     var txthidenAmountToPay = Ext.getCmp('txtAmountToPay').getValue();
                     var Credit = Ext.getCmp('txtCredit').getValue();
                     var OsAmount = Ext.getCmp('txtOsAmount').getValue();
                     var RecNo = TrimString(Ext.getCmp('txtRecNo').getValue());
                     window.open('../Certificates/BillReceipt.aspx?BillNo=' + RecNo + '&AmountToPay=' + txthidenAmountToPay +
                 '&Credit=' + Credit + '&OsAmount=' + OsAmount, 'name', 'height=800,width=700,scrollbars=1');

                 }

Solution 6

Your code will print the pdf to a printer attached to the SERVER where your ASP.NET website is hosted. Is that what you want? I mean, or do you want to print to the client printer?
If printing to the server printer then install FoxIt Reader instead of using Adobe Reader. FoxIt will not open when printing from command line.

For VB .Net I found this:

VB

Private Sub PrintTestPages()
        Dim oProcess As New System.Diagnostics.Process
        With oProcess.StartInfo
            .CreateNoWindow = True
            .WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
            .Verb = "print"
            .Arguments = "Actual Size"
            .UseShellExecute = True
            .FileName = "c:\mydocumentfolder\test.pdf"
        End With
        oProcess.Start()
    End Sub
