Printing in ASP.NET

Is it possible to send a file directly to printer in ASP.NET?

I have a page which display the list of files associated with the record
with hyperlinks to the files. I want to provide a link next to each file to
allow people to click the button and send the appriopriate file to the
printer.

Is it possible to do this in ASP.Net?

Regards
Jas

I had a similar situation, and what I did was create a page that included
two simple Javascript commands in the Body tag's OnLoad event. Here is a
what I did:

<body onload="window.print();window.close()">

If your files are things like Word Documents, spreadsheets, or other files
that cannot be shown in an *.aspx page, then, no, there is not a way to send
them to the printer without the user having so kind of plugin or addon,
because only files displayed and handled by the browser can be printed
through this technique.
