  Hi,

  Try this link http://www.vbgold.com/index.shtml#ASPPrinterCOM

  Use JavaScript to print from client side. Pass document full path to JavaScript from C# or VB code.

  Client has to install the ActiveX to perform any client side printing.

  Add the ActiveX component to page, so client can download the .cab file from the website.

  You have to add below code in .aspx page

  *********************************************************************

  <script language ="javascript" type ="text/javascript" >

  var myArray = new Array();

  function PrintFile() {

  var Prn = new ActiveXObject('ASPPrinterCOM.ASPPrinter');

  var listString = document.getElementById('PrintFiles').value;

  var listArray = listString.split('~'); // Now you have an array in javascript of each value

   

  for (var i = 0; i < listArray.length; i++) {

  //alert(file_get_ext(listArray[i]));

  switch (file_get_ext(listArray[i])) {

  case "html":

  Prn.PrintHTMLDocument(listArray[i]);

  break;

  case "pdf":

  //Prn.PrintPDFFile(listArray[i]);

  Prn.PrintHTMLDocument("http://localhost:1749/Print%20Test/PrinterCOM/demo.html");

   

  break;

  case "txt":

  Prn.PrintHTMLDocument("http://localhost:1749/Print%20Test/PrinterCOM/demo.html");

  break;

  case "rtf":

  //Prn.PrintTextFile(listArray[i]);

  Prn.PrintHTMLDocument("http://localhost:1749/Print%20Test/PrinterCOM/demo.html");

   

  break;

  default:

  }

  }

  Prn.About();

  Prn=null

  }

   

  function file_get_ext(filename) {

  return typeof filename != "undefined" ? filename.substring(filename.lastIndexOf(".") + 1, filename.length).toLowerCase() : false;

  }

   

  </script>

  <object id="ASPPrinter" classid="CLSID:48CB850F-41FF-4EE6-B87D-FB9EC26D193F" codebase="ASPPrinter.CAB#version=2,1,0,200"></object>

  <asp:HiddenField ID="PrintFiles" runat="server" />

  <asp:Button ID="PrintMe" Text="Print Now" runat ="server" />

  ***********************************************************************************************************************

  Code behind

  ********************************************************

  Add all the documents in Page_load. If you use check box, add all the documents in CheckBox OnChange event

  Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

  Dim _PrintFilesArray As New ArrayList

  _PrintFilesArray.Add("http://localhost:1749/Print%20Test/PrinterCOM/demo.html")

  _PrintFilesArray.Add("http://localhost:1749/Print%20Test/PrinterCOM/demo.pdf")

  _PrintFilesArray.Add("http://localhost:1749/Print%20Test/PrinterCOM/demo.txt")

  _PrintFilesArray.Add("http://localhost:1749/Print%20Test/PrinterCOM/demo.rtf")

  PrintFiles.Value = getPrintFiles(_PrintFilesArray)

  PrintMe.Attributes.Add("onClick", "PrintFile()")

  Dim objP As New ASPPrinter

  objP.PaperSize = 1

  'it should print it from default printer

  'objP.SetPrinter("Printer Name")

   

  End Sub

  Private ReadOnly Property getPrintFiles(ByVal _ArrayList As ArrayList) As String

  Get

  Dim intCount As Integer

  Dim strFinal As String = ""

  For intCount = 0 To _ArrayList.Count - 1

  If intCount > 0 Then

  strFinal += "~"

  End If

  strFinal += _ArrayList.Item(intCount).ToString

  Next

  Return strFinal

  End Get

  End Property

  ********************************************************

  This is just an idia.

  You have to update some of the bits in server side code.

  Enjoy....
