Hi Alex, David,

Thanks so much for your helpful info.
Yes I can verymuch print using the WebBrower but that prints to the default
printer.
Calling "IOleCommandTarget::Exec" with OLECMDID_PRINT sends my document to
the default printer.

I want the document to be printed on a specific printer which may/maynot be
default printer. And I want to pass name of this printer to the print
routine so that my HTML is printed on this specific printer.

Is there any way to pass name of the printer? I serched lots of
documentation and looks like there is no way to pass a printer name to
"IOleCommandTarget::Exec".

Are there any alternatives to print an HTML to a specific (non-default)
printer?

Sug

I think that print templates is what you need. Look in MSDN
for..

1. IWebBrowser2::ExecWB(IDM_PRINT...)
2. IDM_PRINT Command ID
3. "Beyond Print Preview: Print Customization for Internet
Explorer 5.5"

Hi Alex

Well, I did have a look at Print Template already. But I didnt get a clue
from that of how I can make the Print Template use a specific printer... I
might be missing something but I think Print Template is more to do which
how you want to handle the print (layout etc) rather than which printer you
want to print it on...

Am I missing something? Once again, thanks for your help.

Yes, you're right. I can't find how to change printer, too.
This information can be retrieved, but as read-only
(__IE_PrinterCmd_DevNames property).

So, you'll be required to put little more work in it. Create
WebBrowser control instance, then query from it IViewObject
interface. You can use IViewObject::Draw method to print
WebControl's content to any target device. You will need to
arrange DEVMODE struct for desired device, though.

HTH
