ASP Printer COM Overview

Print Your Documents, Files And Data From ASP Pages, HTML Pages Or From Any Other Programming Language
Using Just a Single Line of Code!

ASP Printer COM is a 32-bit ActiveX COM component (DLL) that enables you to print almost anything from within your ASP Pages (Active Server Pages) running on a web server or LAN server, without any user intervention. It also enables you to print your data and files from within HTML documents (pages) viewed in a web browser on the client system, in full color, with images and graphics and with the exact page layout and formatting (WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get). Printing is done with just a single line of code!... and without displaying any print dialogs!

   ASP Printer greatly simplifies your printing tasks such as printing HTML forms and form fields, printing HTML Files, printing HTML documents (pages) using their source code, printing live Urls by just specifying the URLs (e.g. http://www.vbgold.com/), printing data from HTML <INPUT> tags or any other tags in the HTML document, printing Reports, Text Files, Rich Text Format (RTF) Files, RTF Data, PDF Files (Adobe Portable Document Format) as well as any text data, from within your ASP pages and HTML documents (pages).

   When installed on a web server or a LAN (Local Area Network) server, ASP Printer will enable you to print anything you like from any of your web sites running on that web server. For instance, you can print order forms that your customers fill online, immediately after the order form is submitted. Printing tasks (documents) can be sent to any printer directly connected to the web server, or to any shared printer connected to the Local Area Network where the server is connected.

   ASP Printer also enables you to print whatever you like on the client machine that browses your web site. Just use the HTML <OBJECT> tag in your ASP or HTML page and a couple lines of code, and the ASP Printer component will automatically be downloaded and installed on the client machine and will print whatever you like on the client machine.

   With ASP Printer, you no more need to write complex code to figure out how to format each part of your document to fit on the paper, based on the fonts and font sizes used, type of printer, paper size, orientation, document margins, number of pages required, etc. With ASP Printer, you just supply the document contents or file name and you are done. Your documents are printed exactly as you see them in a web browser, in a word processor, or in Adobe Reader, preserving all document layout (WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get), including any images and graphics and in full color!

   ASP Printer provides you with a number of easy-to-use methods, where you just specify your document data or file name and optionally any desired settings such as font settings, margin settings, etc. and your document will be printed using just a single line of code! It can't get easier with printing from your ASP and HTML pages!

   ASP Printer also provides you with great flexibility in printing your documents, by allowing you to query all local and network printers, select a printer, specify print quality, paper size, orientation, paper bin, print margins, line spacing, etc. Take a look at the great features of ASP Printer.

   When printing with ASP Printer, the document is sent directly to the printer or to the print spooler without displaying the standard Windows Print Dialog. This enables you to use ASP Printer on web servers and similar machines where you need to automate printing tasks without any user intervention.

   In addition to printing from ASP and HTML pages, ASP Printer can be used to print documents from any other programming language that support ActiveX components (COM), such as VB (Visual Basic), VBA, VB.NET, C#.NET, VC++.NET, ASP.NET, MS Office (Word, Excel, Access), VC++, Delphi, etc.
