hi..actually i am developing a web application wherein i need to print barcodes at client side.
i have the PCL file that would print the barcode but the problem lies in printing at the client side and that too without opening the print dialog box.
can somebody help me with this issue??
what i exactly want is that the user clicks the button and barcode is printed at the default printer (with no dialog box)..

somebody help me ..

The printing behavior client side is handled by the browser and as far as I know you cannot change this behavior without writing a browser plugin.

According to a post I read it is possible for some browsers but I still do not recommend it:

Try the solution given by Andy0000 in the following link: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/ar.../t-174029.html

But it may work in IE only.

Use an ActiveX or Plugin ScriptX and Neptune from Meadroid to give you more control for Windows versions of Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Opera.

OK this worked for me, ASP and IE8. This will print to your default printer as soon as the page loads.

** NO PRINTER DIALOG POP-UP!!!!!!! **

ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <body onload="window.print();">
  2.  
  3. <OBJECT Classid=CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2 height=0 id=WB width=0></OBJECT>   
  4.  
  5. <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  6.  
  7. DA = (document.all) ? 1 : 0
  8.  
  9. </SCRIPT>
  10.  
  11. <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">
  12.  
  13. sub print() 
  14.  
  15.         OLECMDID_PRINT = 6
  16.  
  17.         OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER = 2
  18.  
  19.         OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER = 1 
  20.  
  21.         'on error resume next
  22.  
  23.  
  24.  
  25.           'IE4 object has different command structure
  26.  
  27.         if DA then
  28.  
  29.               call WB.ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER,1)
  30.  
  31.  
  32.  
  33.         else
  34.  
  35.               call WB.IOleCommandTarget.Exec(OLECMDID_PRINT ,OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER,"","")
  36.  
  37.  
  38.  
  39.         end if
  40.  
  41.  
  42.  
  43. end sub
  44.  
  45.  
  46.  
  47. 'This will be interpreted during loading.
  48.  
  49. 'It will write out the correct webbrowser object depending
  50.  
  51. 'on the browser version. To be sure it works, make sure you
  52.  
  53. 'include this script block in between the body tags.
  54.  
  55.  
  56.  
  57. if DA then
  58.  
  59.         'this must be IE4 or greater
  60.  
  61.         wbvers="8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2"
  62.  
  63. else
  64.  
  65.         'this must be IE3.x
  66.  
  67.         wbvers="EAB22AC3-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B"
  68.  
  69. end if
  70.  
  71.
