I have a controller with an action:

SomeController/ActionToBePrinted

ActionToBePrinted() returns an html view.

This action is called from a normal mvc razor view when pressing a button – how would I go about sending the content of the view to a printer when the button is pressed?

Aloha,
Hugo

    You cant send direct to the printer.

    1. I suggest you to create a custom ActionResult, that returns a PDF file or something like that. ASP.NET MVC Action Results and PDF Content

    2. You can show a html page as well and open the print dialog using javascript like this

    <a href="javascript:window.print()">Click to Print This Page</A>

    But always the user has to start the print process, you cant do this programmatically.
