It's a web app. You want to think differently than in VFP. You shouldn't fire off anything like that as it can severely slow down the response. You need a scheduled task to do the printing.

You can have SSRS scheduled reports that print directly to the printer without user intervention. The report would grab all the records added after the last time it ran.

>One of the pages of the asp.net application is where user enters an order. On Submit a record is added to one of the tables. I also need to add the following feature to the Submit. A form (one-page report) with data from the newly created record in the table has to be printed (to a certain printer specified in the configuration). So this one-page report/form has to be "silently" printed and does not need to be modified by anybody but (maybe in the future by me). Which approach of the listed by you above would you recommend to follow?
