Please let me know how to access the installed printers on Client machine for printing on client printer instead of the printers installed on the server.

Solution 1

When you say client/server, it implies you mean ASP.NET, even though you didn't say as much. If you're using ASP.NET, you can't. If you're not, then I don't see what the issue is, assuming you have winforms or WPF code running on the client.
