printing word docs from widows 2003 server using .net 1.1/2.0

[John H]

Hi,
I need to be able to print word docs from server , needs to be a
scalable solution.
I appreciate there are lots of posts on this topic and Microsoft
recommend not auatomating office on the server as per

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q257757

So what is best approach.?
Any 3rd part tools/libs that are good at this?
Preffer not to use/have Word on server at all if doable.

Thanks

John

Not tried it, but would the word viewer help?

You could use ShellExecute to print with the word viewer.

You would need to use some sort of queuing to make sure that you don't kill
the server by print many documents at once.
