Printing From ASP

Is it possible to print a web page dynamically using Vb Script? I have
several "reports" that are generated by my web site that I would like to
print all at once. I could do the looping myself, but how can an indiviudal
page be printed? Thanks for the help.

Printed *where*? VBScript in ASP running on the server won't print to
the client's printer...

Is it possible to print to the client's printer? Do I need to use another
language?

If you want to print to a clients computer you will need to use client
side scripting. This brings up a serious issue in the fact that IE is
one of the few if not the only browser that can even read VB script. I
personally recommend using JavaScript for client side scripting as it
will fork in any JavaScript enabled browser of which there are more then
VB script browsers.

I found this link of how to print a page with Java.
http://javascript.about.com/library/scripts/bleasyprint.htm My question is
can I use Vbscript, HTML, and java all in the same file? If so, how do I
specify what is ASP and what is java? Can my ASP code call a java function?
My end users will be using internet explorer and my web server runs IIS. But
the reason I'm looking at using java to print is because I can't find an
example with Vbscript.

There is a quite good freeware activex-component that will do that

You can't using ASP. You can using Javascript, VBscript, an ActiveX
control or many other options - All are client-side. Try a
Javascript group or other client-side group. It's not an ASP issue.

But Jeff,

This is not an ASP NG !

This NG is for VBscript on many platforms,
INCLUDING clientside .IE, wscript, etc.

Crap. I answered the same question in the ASP group and got this one
mistaken!

Okay, Javascript/VBScript printing solution:

The user can use the print command from the browser
