Hi,

I've been looking for ideas on how to print Word RTFs (or RTFs that
contain headers and footers) on the server, and I haven't really found
any solution.

I would like to implement this as an NT service, no UI, so no UI based
controls like TXText. We don't have the budget for the expensive
($1500) control I found that could do this. And even if we did, it
would be hard to justify, as we only need it for very low volume
printing of RTFs. Something that should be so easy. :)

I've seen unanswered posts from others similar to this. Has anyone
actually come up with a solution?

Thanks, and have a good day.

Tom,

I would create a ServicedComponent that runs on the server which you
export the proxy out to other workstations. Then, you can access that proxy
on the workstations and make the calls to print on the server.

Of course, the ServicedComponent on the server would run under a user
account that can print.

Hope this helps.
