    I don't believe that you can print with server side code.

      If you want the client to be able to print the page, then you need Client Side code to do the print (like JavaScript).

      If you want the client to be able to print something and the print to appear at a printer connected to the web server.......th en you don't need JavaScript.

        Right, right. I meant client-side printing isn't possible with server code.

        Actually, client-side <almost anything> isn't possible with server code.

          Hehe...I remember once my boss wanted me to access the Client computer's registry....I told him that is hard to do and it would take some time....so he tried it himself. The next morning he came in and showed me the code that was accessing the registry.....on the Server (which happened to also be the client so it "was working").

          It was hard to keep my chuckle internal.

          A lot of people who have no experience with web development don't think in the "Client" and "Server" mode.

          I never had a problem with this but then again...I don't do much desktop application development.
