Is there a way to find a network printer using ASP.NET? A user logs into the site, wants to print a document, the page or script pulls up the list of network printer, they select/install and then print.

I think I am asking way too much :)
 
hmmm the way i think to do this is, have the printers installed (local or network) on the server that's hosting the app and make the asp page use the System.Drawing.Printing classes to handle enumeration and printing.

so it'd be like:
user uploads document to server along with a selected printer, server opens thedoc and prints it using those printing classes.

but the printer has to be installed in the machine running the application.

never tried that, but could work, yes :P
