Aspose Words - Remote Printing suppported solution

Aspose.Words Product Family

I am using an asp.net windows service which uses the Aspose.Words dll and am looking into the best way to print documents via a unc print path (the printer is not installed and does appear in “printers and faxes.” on the server.)

I understand the Aspose.Words.Document.Print method is not supported for use in a Windows service / ASP.NET application, and since I am using MS Server 2003 I am also unable to use the unmanaged XpsPrint API. (https://docs.aspose.com/words/net/print-a-document-programmatically-or-using-dialogs/)

Therefore please could you let me know the supported method for printing in this environment. Please note it would be good to recieve a status if the print request failed (printer not found exception a minimum). For background Ive tried printing from the aspose document object in additon to converting an rtf to xps using aspose then adding this directly onto a print Q.

The solution needs to be able to process a large number of documents.

Hi
Jason,

Thanks for your inquiry. Aspose.Words supports printing to the printing framework available with the .NET platform. However, you may want to check if this is possible by printing directly in .NET without using Aspose.Words. If this feature works fine in your test print then it will definitely work in Aspose.Words.

Best Regards,
