Hello,
I need to read data from a table and send it to a printer.
Using ASP and CC latest version, what code is necessary to print?
Thanks
Frank

As far as I know, you can't.
The ASP program is processed on the Server, so that anything that you print
automatically may only be printed on a printer connected to the server.
It may be possible with some tricks, like for example displaying the page
and then using JavaScript to print it, but it would still require user
intervention, just like asking them to press Print button.
If you know of any other web application that can do this, please let us
know and we can try to figure out how it was done.

I use Crystal Reports web component in doing print jobs. It may incur
additional cost but it does the job well.

Okay, I've used the following Java Script. All it does though is triggers
your browser print function and your printer option window pops up.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function doprint(form)
{
window.print();
}
</script>
And then create a button to activate the print...
<form name="frmprint" method="post">
<input type="button" class="PrinterButton" name=btnprint" id="btnprint"
value="print" onclick="doprint(document.frmprint)"
onmouseover="window.status='print'; return true;"
onmouseout="window.status="";return true;">
</form>
Most of that was from memory-- hope I didn't miss anything..
