Hi I m accessing my aspx page from client-pc.
There's a printing function,where it prints crystal report from my aspx page.
When i click the print button from client-pc, the printing job must be done at server side.

The printer is connected using TCP/IP.

How may i do this,any ideas guys?

Hi,

I dont think while developing the application you have any control where user(accessing from client machine) would print it. You at most can "fire" the "print" command but rest all is taken care by client's system confiuration.

Therefore, you can set aside the idea of instructing your application(web based) where it should print.

Most expternal peripheral device use TCP/IP for data transmission. :) Printer is one of them. It can not be a special reason for yoy to think you can have control over where end user would print it document opened using browser.

Hope this helps you,
