Question : ASP.NET client side printing.

I have a situation where I may have one or many images I will need the users to print on the client side of an asp.net program. What's the best way to achieve this?

The images will need to go to a specific printer, and the images will need to be sized to fit the media exactly, also. The image I am producing should be the exact right size though.

Thanks,
Matthew

Answer : ASP.NET client side printing.

I wanted to do the same thing. I found the following code a while back, it still works. It assumes your browser object is m_wndBrowser. Source:http://www.fruitfruit.com/vc/ie/iehtml.cpp
