Print rendered .aspx page to server's printer

[Robin Dindayal]

Does anyone know how I can print a fully rendered .aspx to the
server's printer? I know that, if I wanted to print to the client's
printer it would be easy (ie. use javascript's window.print()).

However, I need to print to the server's printer. I need to print the
fully rendered .aspx page from the codebehind .aspx.cs page to the
server's printer.

I've tried using SHDocVw.InternetExplorer and SHDocVw.WebBrowser but I
just can't seem to get it to work. Any help with this would be
greatly, greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

This is my latest attempt at getting this to work....

------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Get the WITH type from the to moniker
Type IETipo = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("InternetExplorer.Applicati on");

// Create the NET proxy class
Object IEX = Activator.CreateInstance(IETipo);

// Set visible true
IETipo.InvokeMember("Visible",
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.SetProperty, null, IEX, new object [] {
false });

// Call method
IETipo.InvokeMember("Navigate",
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, IEX, new object []
{ "http://www.google.ca" });

// Print it
Object o = null;
object [] args = {OLECMDID.OLECMDID_PRINT,
OLECMDEXECOPT.OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, o, o};
ParameterModifier[] ParamMods = new ParameterModifier [1];
ParamMods[0] = new ParameterModifier (4); // inititialize with
number of method parameters
ParamMods[0][2] = true; // set the 3rd param to be an out
param
ParamMods[0][3] = true; // set the 4th param to be an out
param
IETipo.InvokeMember("ExecWB",
System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, IEX, args,
ParamMods, null, null);

------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here is the error message that I get...

"...

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
