Getting Client's default printer

[VbProg10]

I have a web application. I am getting the default printer and passing it to Crytal Reports. The problem is when I put the application on the web server it picks up the web server printer and not the client printer. How do I get the client's printer?

You might have to use client side scripting.

Do you have an example?

This is how I am doing it now.
ex.

Dim strPrinterName As String
For i = 0 To oPrinter.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Count - 1
strPrinterName =
oPrinter.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters.Item(i)
If oPrinter.PrinterSettings.IsDefaultPrinter Then Exit For
Next

moRpt.PrintOptions.PrinterName = strPrinterName

This will work fine on your computer but not on the web server.
How can I get access the client's printer?

Since ASP.NET is a server side technology, you will not be able to execute anything on the client side. So you have to use Javascript. Unfortunately I know very little Javascript.
