I'm looking to load print an HTML page to an IP Printer in realtime without a setup Printer on the machine.
Similiar to just specifying a printer IP and port:
System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient client = new System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient();
client.Connect(ipAddress, port);
Is this possible with the webview.print command? I saw that it takes printersettings, but this would be for an already defined Printer on the local system.
Let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
No. You would need to set up a printer on the machine. That step is what involves the printer driver. The printer driver is always needed for printing.
Thanks!

What about printing to a printer share? like
\\PrintServerComputername\PrinterShareName

You would still go through the driver. Once a shared printer is "connected", its driver are installed locally. It's just the driver is automatically configured to talk to the printer on the network. In short, on Windows application ALWASY go through drivers to reach a device (printer in this case).
