Q: 

Sending Documents to Users' Print Queues Across the Network

I have a web service (available to employees in the organization via intranet only) deployed on IIS, and its job is to create a PDF file and place it into a folder located on the network.

Before they generate the PDF, the User can choose a "send to printer" option. I know it's possible to send a file directly to a printer, but we have actual "mailboxes" on our printer where employees must first log in to their mailbox before printing their documents.

To ensure that those PDF's are sent to the proper mailbox on the printer, I was wondering if it'd be possible to do a File.Copy from the network location to the User's computer's default printer queue. Once the file is in the User's printer queue, it'll automatically be sent to the proper "mailbox" on the server.

Does this make sense? Do you think it is possible?

Thanks, Mike
