You need some communication platform. You can use raw TCP sockets (not recommended), .NET remoting (obsolete, but works) or WFC (lattest technology, recommended). Or any other network communication protocol like HTTP.

what will i search in the google to do this?

thanks

you can pause the printer and then just unpause it to print, if you want to avoid unauthorized printing... now if you want to do it with c# i believe that you need to read about WFC generally.

what does the WFC do?
