Below is the code i am using.

When i deployed into test server its not printing but iam reciving below dialog box.
Dialog box: Save This file as.
"Save this file as *.xps."

I am running this from IIS Browser.


CODE:

        Dim oa As word.Application
        Dim od As word.Document
        oa = New word.Application()
        Dim orgfilename = ""
       

        Try
                    orgfilename = Server.MapPath("~/Templets/6PresumptiveEligibility.doc")

                    od = oa.Documents.Open(orgfilename)
                    od.Activate()
                    od.Content.Find.Execute(FindText:="CurrDate", ReplaceWith:=Date.UtcNow())
                    od.Content.Find.Execute(FindText:="CurrMRN", ReplaceWith:=vMRN)
                    od.Content.Find.Execute(FindText:="CurrFullName", ReplaceWith:=vName)
                    Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000)
                    od.PrintPreview()
                    od.PrintOut()
                    Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000)
                    oa.Quit(SaveChanges:=False)
                    oa = Nothing
                    od = Nothing

You want to print it to client printer or server printer? You will have to send the file to client so user can print it. To print on server, you would need to set the printer as its currently being set as XPS file printer.

looks like no printer is available. you are running this from IIS? on the server?

My need is to print from clinet.


This is working fine on My local box, But as soon as i deployed into test server, the printer is not working. Then i log into test server and try to run from IIS.But on server there is no printer is set up.

Do i need to setup Printer on the server?

emoreau,

can you explain more ..what i need to be done for this. I see in your message "return the document to th user and he will print it"..???
what does it ment?
