You can do printing without the Print Dialog (under the hood). I have a *BIG* chapter (over 70 pages in my Graphics Programming with GDI+ book that covers every aspect of printing in .NET. Most probably I will have this chapter available for free. I will keep you guys posted on that.

Problem is that printing must be automated without showing printdialog. BTW: this is for intranet web application. How do I change betwen printer and fax if fax is installed as printer?

You can't have a Web Page automatically print the web won't allow that. Imagine if web sites could print out pages that would be NUTS. You will have to use .NET Remoting or the person can just click in IE and print it out.. print it out to fax if need be.

If the fax is configured as a windows printer then you would just treat is as though you were printing the document. If you're unfamiliar with printing in C# this is a good article ... http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/winforms/texteditor.asp -James
