I have a program that gets some data from a database and prints a report to a printer on schedule. It runs unattended so there can never be user input. I have it printing to the default printer, but I'd like to print to a defined network printer (\\servername\printername).
How can I code that?

Hello Chris,
You can print a report programmatically by using a ReportProcessor. The ReportProcessor.PrintReport method expects PrinterSettings which has to be valid to avoid popping a modal dialog, if the operation is executed by a service. The PrinterSettings properties allow you to specify any connected to the machine printer (PrinterSettings.PrinterName)..
More settings required for using a network printer are discussed in forums like stackoverflow e.g. PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrinterName \\servername\printername Not Available.
I hope this information helps.
