ASP is rubbish, why are you still using it ?

The ONLY way to do this is

1 - print the txt file to the client and then print it from there
2 - because it's a LAN, have the server connected to all the printers on the network, then you can write server side code to print to a known printer. If the server doesn't have the path to the printer, and the drivers installed, it's still not going to be possible.
