Printing from a webservice

James, Thanks again for the reply. I thought it would be fairly simple to. Mabey it is and im doing something wrong. It seems to me like you need some form to call the C# print functionality but I dont want to use forms because this is a webservice. In my code, it seems to choke when pd.print() is called. Here is what I have so far: Any comments/suggestions/thrashings is much apprieciated. using System; using System.Collections; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Diagnostics; using System.Web; using System.Web.Services; using System.Drawing; using System.Drawing.Printing; using System.IO; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace LabelPrintSvc { ///

/// Summary description for Service1. ///

public class Service1 : System.Web.Services.WebService { public Service1() { //CODEGEN: This call is required by the ASP.NET Web Services Designer InitializeComponent(); } PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument(); [WebMethod] public string printIt() { pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = @"\\printer / netprinter"; pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(printItHandler); if (pd.PrinterSettings.IsValid) { pd.Print(); return "printing worked"; } return "Printing failed"; } private void printItHandler(Object sender , PrintPageEventArgs e) { String textToPrint = ".NET Printing is easy"; Font printFont = new Font("Courier New", 12); int leftMargin = e.MarginBounds.Left; int topMargin = e.MarginBounds.Top; e.Graphics.DrawString(textToPrint, printFont, Brushes.Black, leftMargin, topMargin); } } }
