I am looking for some help with printing text files to the client printer, i.e. I am trying to develop an application that will allow the user to select multiple text files which can then be printed without displaying them first.

It was suggested on the ASP forum that this might be possible using javascript.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Unfortunately,you were misguided,JavaScript is not as powerfull as ASP is,hence chances of powerfull actions to be completed are even lesser.

JavaScript will only print a document thats opened in a browser window(that has focus).

My guess is you will need to work with some programming language such as C/C++, Java or VB to make this happen.
