Hi,
Since you can get the print to work from a separate button the problem
is probably that the page hasn't loaded when you are trying to print.
You could do one of 2 things... wait in a loop until the control is
ready or print from one of the NavigateComplete events.
There is a way to test the control to see if it is ready to print but
I can't remember the code and don't have it with me at work. I'll post
a follow-up from home that shows how to implement a loop that waits
for the printer to be ready before printing.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Dave.
