Hi,

In an intranet web application I am using this code to print a rtf document:
Dim printJob As Process = New Process
printJob.StartInfo.FileName = Filepath
printJob.StartInfo.Verb = "print"
printJob.Start()
printJob.WaitForExit()

It was working fine on windows2003 and IIS6 installation.
Now we are moving to new websever windows2008 r2 and IIS7 and somehow i cannot get the function working.

I am able to print the document directly on the web server but from the web application it wont work.

Can anyone point me into a direction how to solve it?

Thanks in advance

All you're essentially doing is trying to open .rtf file with verb of "print." You need to check your file associations and see if that is even setup on the new server. Go to Control Panel, Default Programs and make sure rtf is setup correctly.
