Do you mean to say you want the Browser to print its contents?

ya i mean when i click on file menu & print it should give me print of that page as normaly what we do in ms-office

I guess I am missing something.
Most browsers provide a File > Print mneu that allows you to print the current page. Is this what you are asking? I have both EI and Firefox on this box, and both of them do that.

Great. It sounds like you have found your answer.

May be, soni intends to print a page using ASP code, directly by clicking a button, for instance. I'm in need of such code too, can anyone help me? :P

Thanx.

Do you mean to say that you want your server machine to print a page somehow??? Or that you want the browser application to print the page?

In other words, what purpose do you have for wanting your ASP code to print a page?

Okay, I've got it, a simple code, but it works anyway, I only use Javascript's window.print() to print a page. Yap, it's directly from the application.

By the way, I don't really catch soni's question:
"ya i mean when i click on file menu & print it should give me print of that page as normaly what we do in ms-office"
???

Shouldn't u just directly click on the 'File' Menu, and then print??

Yes. I believe that is what is being said.

As you have found, printing from the browser is relatively straight-forward. Printing from the server doesn't make much sense at all. In other words, printing from "ASP" code isn't reasonable.
