I'm setting up a form in IIS 5 (Windows 2k) that captures user's data, and I'd like it to be sent to a printer automatically. I'm not sure if there is a script that can do this, or we need something else. Any help greatly appreciated.

two options:
1. you open text file like "lpt1:" or "\\server\printer". you can map printer to port from ASP using WSH.Add/RemovePrinterConnection

2. you can use custom ActiveX object to do printing task. But don't forget to setup printer for SYSTEM account via registry editing.
