Printing to a client printer from a web app

Question

If I have a printer hooked directly to a pc (a kiosk with a printer), how would I go about creating the ability for a web page (.net web app) to print a jpg to the kiosks pr

Answer 1

if you created an application that hosted the web browser control (rather than using a web browser directly) you could control the printing process much more directly.

(assuming using Windows + IE is possible)

here are some example articles that might help:

Configure a WebBrowser Control

Using the Web Browser Control in your C# Applications

and the ever changing MSDN docs for the WebBrowser class, which has the Print method.

From the print method remarks: "You can use this method to implement a Print button similar to the one in Internet Explorer. This method prints the current document without requiring further user input."
