I have a web application build using classic ASP and VB. How do I print a document from within the back end VB code?

You could use the window.print javascript function which will open the print dialogon the client browser allowing him to choose the printer and print the page:

Protected Sub btnPrint_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPrint.Click
    ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript([GetType](), "print", "window.print();", true)
End Sub

As a side note, what you have is not a classic ASP application with VB, you have a classic ASP.NET WebForms application using VB.NET as a code behind.


UPDATE:

As requested in the comments section here's how you could write a generic handler which will dynamically generate the HTML you would like to print:

Imports System.Web
Imports System.Web.Services

Public Class Print
    Implements System.Web.IHttpHandler

    Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
        context.Response.ContentType = "text/html"
        context.Response.Write("<html><body onload=""window.print();""><table><tr><td>value1</td><td>value1</td></tr></table></body></html>")
    End Sub

    ReadOnly Property IsReusable() As Boolean Implements IHttpHandler.IsReusable
        Get
            Return False
        End Get
    End Property

End Class

Now simply navigate to /Print.ashx.


you could look into some reports frameworks like CrystalReports (used to come with VS but you have to download it from SAP nowadays.

Here is a nice tutorial for the report-engine that comes packed into Visual Studio (I have to admit I don't have much experience with this but it looks fine to me): Creating an ASP.NET Report
