Why don't you install a printer on the machine where IIS runs? Then have someone pick up the paper and send it by snail-mail to the user...

When you asked earlier on today: Printing Code working in Visual Studio not in IIS[^] and I told you that C# code is executed at the Server, not the Client, did you assume that means "only for this code"?

Because it doesn't.

Let me reiterate: You cannot print on the client printer from C# code directly. That includes Processes, Word, and everything else. Go back to the previous question, follow the link I gave you are start reading: it is not trivial to print on the client printer at all!
