>>Sorry, I don't follow you here. If you want to print something on network printer, then you should be connected to this printer, i.e. you must log on network. What actually prevents you from doing this? Or you mean that the same application which runs text file processing should also print?

The only way you can connect to a network printer is to be logged into the network and have the privelages to access the printer. You instead need to be looking into how you can programatically login.
