Print a file in network printer
Hello,
I have to print files from my .net program to a network printer. Please see attachment for printer settings.
1. I know file path of the file to print
2. I know printer uri as you can see in the attachment
3. The printers are in the network and are not installed on the machine I want to print from
I am investigating ways to print files on a network printer using a .net program (asp.net). Please point me in right direction

I went through the articles. They are not related my question.
I know how to print from my asp.net application if the printer is attached to the server hosting the application.
What I am looking for is to print a file from my asp.net application to a printer which is in network but not installed on the server. I know printer URI. May be a binary dump of the file to the printer using its URI or some thing.
Besically, our organisation has lot of users. They have to print documents in printers close to them. It is not practical to install each and every printer on the server. The printers are attached to a print server and are given a URI.

quizwedge,
I would like installing printers on the server as the last option. How ever, thank you for your insights, they certainly opened up different avenues. Appreciate your suggestions.

This is not a solution to my question.But, the comments by the expert are useful.
If that doesn't work, you could try using classic ASP as shown at http://www.asp101.com/articles/john/serversideprint/network.asp
If neither of those work, you could save the link for the page to a database and then have a Windows Service on the server that continually loops looking for pages it needs to print and have the Windows service handle the printing.
