Print to printer solution

[Former Member]

Is there any solution for function "print to printer" which prints on the network printer without report viewer prompting. Direct print when action run.

I'm not really sure what version of crystal report but it come with the Visual Studio 2005, i'll get the version on monday as im in the office. I had try the code to "see" the printer on the web app but i cant "see" the network printer, all local printers are seen..i have given access even in the firewall setting to enable the printer port and enable sharing. The window test print is working fine with the printer. But when it come to web app direct print it just wont work. I'm currently using server 2003 and window xp profession.

For an easy way around this, instead of hacking the registry to allow the network printers to be seen, just install the network printers as local printers via tcp/ip. That way you will be able to "see" them, they will still be the network printers, and you will be able to print to them like you would any normal local printer.

I just realize that the printer on my server is not Network Printer but server shared printer. It explained a lot I can't connect the printer using TCP/IP. Any option for changing the sharing server printer to local? By the way, I'm really thankful for your team effort for solving my problem. A million thanks to you all.
