Subject: Re: How to print a word document automatically from a web browser

You can use the web browser control to print the word document:
Sample code snippet given here (not complete for validations) - you can
open a blank aspx page passing the required params (either through
session or other ways) and call printFiles() method onload of the aspx
page (<body onload=printFiles()). This works.
Note that this works on activex object of internet explorer. If the
activex is enabled, you wouldn't even get the print dialog.

Hope this helps!

var sFiles = new Array(<%=sFileList%>);
var iPrintIndex = 0;
function printFiles()

if(iPrintIndex < sFiles.length)

{

printFile(sFiles[iPrintIndex],"Window" + iPrintIndex);
}
else
{

alert("activex not
enabled");
window.close();
}
}

{
window.close();
}
}

function printFile(fileUrl,winName)
{

newWindow=window.open('',winName,'toolbar=no,scrollbars=no,width=200,hei
ght=150') ;
newWindow.document.open("text/html",

The question is right and it will be an installation requisite.

But i am testing the application on my PC, and I expressly activated the
macros. In fact if I open the document directly from disk, word prints
the document automatically.

I think it's a security constraint from Internet Expolorer.

Thanks.

Massimo.
