hi..actually i am developing a web application wherein i need to print barcodes at client side.
i have the PCL file that would print the barcode but the problem lies in printing at the client side and that too without opening the print dialog box.
can somebody help me with this issue??
what i exactly want is that the user clicks the button and barcode is printed at the default printer (with no dialog box)..
somebody help me ..
The printing behavior client side is handled by the browser and as far as I know you cannot change this behavior without writing a browser plugin.
According to a post I read it is possible for some browsers but I still do not recommend it:

Try the solution given by Andy0000 in the following link: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-174029.html
But it may work in IE only.
Use an ActiveX or Plugin ScriptX and Neptune from Meadroid to give you more control for Windows versions of Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Opera.
OK this worked for me, ASP and IE8. This will print to your default printer as soon as the page loads.
