0	No clues however if printer is installed on your local machine you should have got the list of installed printer in the Print dialogue box, are you seeing any printer installed in the Print dialogue box?

0	Hi, Well, here there is a catch...You also need printer installed on your server for PrintToPrinter() method to work. You can refer to article related to this at asp alliance site. However, the problem does not end here. We need to mention the printer name like : dmyReport.PrintOptions.PrinterName = 'MYPrinter' so that it detects the printer and prints. However each time this wont be possible. So, in order to know which printers are installed on your Server use: dropdownlistname.DataSource = System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters; I get my ddl populated from my local machine with the avlb printers.. However when i deploy my application on the Server i do not get my printers...as as per the asp alliance site we need to do mapping of the System user with the Printer.....ANY IDEA HOW TO DO THIS??? PLEASE HELP HELP... THANKS!! Best Regards, Rohan Laghate Laghaterohan, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
