Printing using IP Address

My client wishes to be able to print her Crystal Reports using various
printers' IP addresses. Does anyone have any sample code for how this
might be achieved? She is anxious to avoid using the normal File,
Print menu/dialog box methods, but to have a drop-down list of
available printers and have the user select one, and print via that
printer's IP address.

Possible? Easy? Poor solution?

TIA

Hello,

The PrintDialog has a property "ShowNetwork" that could helps you ...

I would think that all printers would need to be first set up on the local
PC - otherwise, for starters, Crystal woudn't know which printer driver to
use etc etc. The printers would then *appear* as local printers - you
could then choose the printer through your application by enumerating the
printers available to the PC.

I don't want to use the PrintDialog. I want to control the printing
entirely from code.
