I have a web application that needs the ability to print directly to a printer that is installed on the client PC. &nbsp;I also need the web application to be able to read either from their serial port or usb port through the web browser.<br />
<br />
The user will be configuring which printer to print to. &nbsp;For example when they go itnto the printer configuration in my application I would like to display the current installed printers in a list box. &nbsp;The user selects which printer, and then clicks save. &nbsp;Then when they click a button to run a report, the report will automatically print to their printer based off the configuration.<br />
<br />
I am doing this today by using active x controls. &nbsp;I have gotten a lot of negative feedback from my customers with this, and am trying to explore ways to do the above functionality without active x.<br />
<br />
Does anybody have any ideas?

A way to print to a client PC and read a serial port without activex controls

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
