Question I have a .net WebApplication were saved the following files types in a temp folder (.tiff, .rtf and docs) on the webserver, after saving these files, the user will click Print to print them ALL. How can I use the PrintSpooler to do this?
Answer Hi,
This is kind of out of my area of expertise, but I did find something through Google that may help. Unfortunately, you'll have to have the printer you want to use set as the default printer on the machine hosting the web application, and that machine will also need to have the appropriate software installed to read these files (eg: MS Word).
Imports System.Diagnostics
Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo
psi.UseShellExecute = True
psi.Verb = "print"
psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
psi.FileName = "<your file name here>"
Process.Start(psi)
