Server Side Printing
I am trying to print a file from an ASP script but haven't been able
to find any way of making this happen.
I have an EPL (Eltron Thermal Printer language) file that is being
generated from the script and I want a way to print this file. An EPL
file is basically printed the same way as a postscript PRN would be
printed. From a command prompt I can type:
copy label.EPL LPT1
and get the thing printed. I want to be able to do this same thing
within ASP.
I have tried creating a batch file and calling that from ASP using the
code at http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2059 but that didn't seem to
work. I did give permissions to CMD and Command but it's still not
working. Is that because "copy" is part of Command? I also tried
DynuExec but that didn't do the trick either.
Is there any way to copy a file to LPT1 from within an ASP script at
all? How about JavaScript? I'm ok with any kind of creative
solutions...it doesn't have to be elegant since this will only be used
as an internal application.

I would like to print to a printer connected to my IIS server.
I mean "I DONT WANT TO PRINT ON EVERY PRINTER IN THE WORLD". (many
answers are thinking javascript printing to the user side)
I just want to print on the server side only for me (in ASP of course)
Another thing to consider is that i use a local printer that generate
PDF (Acrobat Distiller driver + ghostscript + redmon port redirector ).
My server side printer name is "PDFPrinter" and its port is "RPT1:"
I tried with FileSystemObject.CreateTextFile("RPT1:",True) but don't
work.I saw many examples with:
.......set objPrinter =CreateTextFile("LPT1:",True) so ....
I also tried with Wscript.NetWork class but no sucess

I need to print to the IIS server's local printer. I have written a basic e-commerce site, and when a customer places an order, I would like to print the details directly to the server's printer so it can be actioned. I'm using Windopws 2000 / IIS 5 and "classic" ASP.

I am looking for the easy way to print from a web client in the printer that is in the IIs server in LPT1.
No problem about rights, the server is an intranet one. Please, tell me some about, I have been looking around but some scripts I found did not work, or I do not know how to make them work.

Can anyone guide me through printing pdf files on the server-side from
asp page. (The pdf files will be picked up from a local windows
folder).
I believe 2 possible options would be:
1)using wsh with asp
2)using Adobe objects from within asp
I haven't had much success with either.

How do I go about calling a server-side vbscript within a client-side
javascript function? What I have is a page heavy on the javascript that has
a number of functions, one of which is to begin a visual countdown with an
onclick and also open an asp page containing the server-side vbscript, which
initiates a wake-on-lan call. I had no idea how to call the vbscript within
the javascript function, so this is why I opted for the vbscript asp page
"pop-up" via window.open. Code:

I have a Client Side Java Script which is supposed to re-load the options on my serverside ASP form.
I have been trying to get the syntax right to assign the Select box on the ASP form to a variable in my JavaScript so I can update the options. Can anyone either tell me if this is not possible or what the syntax should be. Here is some information.
Form Name = AddProdForm
Select Box name = subprodline
JavaScript Variable = form1
Here is one of the many versions of this line I have tried.
var form1=document.forms(""AddProdform"");

I am starting to build quite a few pages that will have
tables of data from an SQL database.
I have been building the table rows on the server side
in VBScript, but I have been thinking about having the
VBScript code just build array variables in the <head>
section (or as local variables), and then have JavaScript
functions on the client side actually populate the tables
when the page loads.
I do plan to do other things like being able to sort the
tables in JavaScript code on the client, limit the tables
height and be able to scroll the rows, and click on a row
in the table, and have the values populate a form. I will
also need to be able to export/download/? some tables into
Excel.

this particlular message box - however, this currently logs regardless of
whether or not the message box was clicked - im assuming this is because the
server-side code can't see the client side if condition. but how can i set
the varMsgBox variable as a server-side variable? Code:

I have a sub routine called when I click on a button. It is inside VBScript tags (client side). Can I do server-side scripting inside that?
<script language="vbscript">
sub cmdButton_Click
code
'can I do this
<% strValid = "Update" %>
End Sub
</script>
Would be nice but don't think it works. Anyone know for sure?

I have inherited a set of asp pages that I now need to augment. In order to minimize changes to production code, I would like to make a "call" to an asp page from a new asp page. Existing code is using many Request.Form variables, and I would very much prefer not to change this code.
The new page will retrieve data that I would like to fill into Request.Form variables that are used in the old code. So, is it possible for me to set Request.Form variables from within an asp page and then fire off a second page that uses those variables as
well as any Request.Form variables that were passed to the original page. Additionaly, it should all occur on the server, and the client would only get a response after all on the server is complete.

I'm using IIS 5 and I've been reading about server to browser HTTP compression
using "gzip" or "deflate" encoding. Can this be done in IIS 5?
If so, it is a configuration setting or do I need to compress it myself before
sending to the browser?

The includes work seperately but when I include them together I am getting an error. The includes share the same database but use different tables.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing the conflict between the two includes?

I want to do some time based house cleaning chores on a server based on server time/date. I know how to do it based on a call from the client using asp, but is it
possible to have a program residing on the server that comes alive based on server time (not a client call) and does it's tasks such as delete an inactive page, or more importantly, send out a cdonts e-mail to a client list? I should also mention that this is a shared Windows 2003 Server (Interland Blue Halo).

The book I am referring to learn ASP states the following about server- side includes:
==============================================
The code in a server-side include file is inserted into the pages that use it BEFORE the page's ASP code is evaluated. This means that you can put ASP code inside the include file, and it will be executed like it was part of the page that includes it. On the other hand, it means that you cannot use ASP to determine which page to include.
==============================================
But as opposed to the last line in the above para, the following code makes use of ASP to determine which page to include: Code:

I am troubleshooting a web site (not written by me) and may of the pages use server side includes. This one page includes a page that return includes the page the included it.
Page 1 (_connection.asp):
<!--#include file="MGroups/MRdisplayfun.asp"-->
Page 2 (MRdisplayfun.asp):
<!--include file="../_connection.asp"-->
The site is quite slow and when I first found this I thought that this was the primary cause of it. Then I thought this page shouldn't work at all because it would create an infinite loop and should just recursively call the pages and eventually consumme all server resources and database connections.
However it doesn't appear to act that way and the page does display and there is no endless calls to the SQL statements in the two pages. Is there something that prevents recursive calling when using SSIs?
