Thanks Marc,
I will go through your solution on How to integrate the same in ASP.NET. You are right!! Our solution has to print very high volume of labels in a day. Actually our client don't even have time to see the sample label(in image or some-thing),just it has to print on the label. Now regarding the performance. We are using a very high level system configuration we are using a powerful NLB(load balancer) with 10 high end configuration servers. Till now we have not done any PLT(Performance and Load testing on printers-- because simulation of this is taking time for us). But in the mean time I will go through your suggestions and will be ready with a sample application and during PLT the above approach isn't working then I will use your approach and will post my findings.

I have not used the pdf/image that was the aproach2. But currently I am going through this approach.
The ip address I am using like this:
@"\\" + ipaddressofcientmachine + @"\" + sharedprintername;

We are using ZEBRA LP 2824 PLUS(Barcode label printer ( I mean thermal printer))

Hello SA,

Today I started doing the approach 2 first. But I am getting a lot of road blocks. Seems to be approach-2 is bit tough to achieve. because we have to modify a lot of browser setting to achieve the functionality.

I will be keep posting my updates.

Thanks SA!! for your inputs. If Our architect agrees to do both, then We are Planning to go ahead with the two approaches we will see the performance and other issues with respect to the printer sharing to the servers(Network load balancer(NBL)- to the servers(web garden)). I will post the response form the servers if the architect agrees to do both.
Thanks Again,
Mohan

Thanks for your patience and clarifications!!
Third Question:
"We won’t ask the client on which printer the label should be printed" looks perfectly reasonable. But from context it looked like in first approach"
Actually in the First approach the label will be printed through the server(We need to share the printer through network - and install the printer in the server).
But in the second approach it is not network shared and will be printed directly on the server.

I hope we are diverting from the topic.
Topic summary: Do we really need to share all the printers and then print the labels directly from the Server or give it to the browser and to the client. Which one would be the fastest/easiest/safest approach.

Hello sergey,
IP - we are using static IPs.(no dynamic IPs). It doesnt matter which ip the client is using. The printers mapped to the ip will be stored int he Database.

"PDF or any other font"?! :-)? pdf or image ( I updated the question)

3rd question: suppose I have configured a printer to machine having ip address(11.11.11.11) and the printer name is "Printer-One" these details will be available in the database and I will do a lookup and through javascript will print the labels directly at the client side. I hope I have answered you questions.Please let me know if this post need to be modified or to be improved more technically with more examples.

Hi dave,

Actually I have to develop a small application where my client can be able to call/receive the customer call. Similar to the Call center application, whenever a customer calls a client automatically I have to do a db search(if he is a existing customer) and the number that I got from the modem should be displayed automatically in the computer. I thought I can do this job with voice modem.

Please note that my client will be having a simple land line connection.

Plz suggest me any other approach to accomplish this task.

Regards
Mohan
