    Send file to printer

    I have an intranet web site. On one of these I want to be able to send a pdf file to the printer and have it start printing without any other user interation. Is this possible?

    If so, what would be the VB code to do this?

    Thanks

    I don't think it is unfortunately. The only way to get the printing preferences window up (i.e. you can't print without some kind of prompt) is by using client-side JavaScript -> window.print(); But I'm presuming either:
    a) The PDF is the only thing in the window in which case you cannot use JavaScript.
    b) The PDF is displayed using a frame of some kind - I think the default setting for frames is print as layed out on screen in which case you get a screen shot printed out not the full PDF.
