my code to print:-

Java

<script type="text/vbscript">
Sub Print()
       'print_ticket.style.visibility="hidden"
        OLECMDID_PRINT = 6
       OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER = 2
       OLECMDEXECOPT_PROMPTUSER = 1
       call WB.ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER,1)
       'print_ticket.style.visibility="visible"

      'if print_ticket.click = true
      'dim status


End Sub
document.write "<object ID='WB' WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0 CLASSID='CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2'></object>"

<body  önload="Print();"  öncontextmenu="return false">

You don't need to create a separate windows application for printing. You can do it directly in your web application. What exactly do you need to print?

Bad idea. Assuming your windows application is built in .Net framework, how do you expect it to work on, say, Linux? What do you want to print anyway?

i don't understand why do you need windows app for printing.. you can give print via web app...
what the exact reason to choose the window app for printing the document?

because printer type EPSON TM-L90 Receipt consider 5 tickets as a 1 page.it doesnt cut the ticket 1 by 1.no matter how i break the page it does nothing.

i try to add separator to repeater(table to display ticket) and print it out from normal A4 printer it works nice.but come to this thermal printer it doesnt break the page/repeater.

You got the wrong end of the problem. As you state you have the solution for printing - so implement it in asp.net now...
Do not combine web and win - very bad idea!

Solution 1

I would suggest to use PrintDocument class[^] in code behind. Sample code: ASP.NET + PrintDocument[^]
Other way: PrintHelper class[^]
