    HTML link that will create a connection to printer...

    Can this be done?

    Ideally I'd like to publish them links on the Intranet so simple printer connection can be created.

    Ideas?

    What OS?

    Can think of two ways for doing this on Windows, minimal effort.
    throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)

    Ok, can you roll the site out to be in the trusted zone?

    then you can simply VBS out a \\server\printerShare ?

    Failing that, and to be honest my prefered way, would be to have a helper app listening on a name such as abcPrinter:// where abc is the company abbreviation, that way your just signaling to your own app.

    Do you need code to query LDAP and produce a list of the printers too?

    You can put an HTML link in a email to "\\server\printerShare" and that will connect the printer if thats what your after?
