Hi all ,

report in my application,it prints on the default printer which is installed
on the server (LAN printer ), but i want to print through printer which is
installed locally on my PC.



Thanks in advance

You can't do this natively because of security reasons - ASP.NET has no
direct access to any client-side hardware...
 
Check out Business Objects web site. They have examples on how to do this.
Not the easiest thing to do in Crystal, but I have gotten this to work...
ActiveReports is much easier to do asp.net client site printing...
