interdev_programming thread: Printing from ASP


Message #1 by "Maja Orcic" <morcic@c...> on Thu, 17 May 2001 14:55:59
You can't modify the user's browser settings with ASP... that would be a 
huge security problem.

There may be an ActiveX Control that runs in a browser and manages custom 
print jobs, but that is a lot of work and technically 'costly' (browser 
dependent, download usage, etc.)

You could also build a little .exe program that modifies the browser 
settings through the registry... but again, this is 'expensive' with even 
greater security implications.

good luck,
