System.Drawing.Printing

Can the System.Drawing.Print namespace (and it's print methods) be used in
ASP.NET ? Can we direct an output to a printer using these classes ? If not,
what is the alternative ?You can use any namespace with ASP.Net, and you can do anything.

I thought "System.Drawing" used GDI+, which in turn is in the context of
Windows, not a web-browser ? Is that not so ?

No, It is not so. An ASP.Net application is the same as any other
application. For example, you can use GDI+ to create images which you stream
out to a browser on the fly. In any case, the question was about printing,
which uses drawing. Now, I am nt sure that the person who asked understand
that the printing classes will only work on the server side (unless they use
a client-side .Net Windows Form), but there may be a reason why the person
wants their app to do some printing on the server.
