// alert('error while Seding print');
}
});

this is my code in controller

    public JsonResult print(string iprintData, string iprinterName)
    {
        Boolean bflag = false;
        System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["_printData"] = iprintData; 
        PrintDocument printDocument = new PrintDocument();
        printDocument.PrintController = new StandardPrintController();            
        printDocument.PrintPage += PrintDocumentOnPrintPage;
        printDocument.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = iprinterName;
        //printFont = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial", 10);
        printDocument.Print();
        bflag = true;            
        return Json(bflag, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }

    public static Image resizeImage(Image image, int new_height, int new_width)
    {
        Bitmap new_image = new Bitmap(new_height, new_width);
        Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage((Image)new_image);
        g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.High;
        g.DrawImage(image, 0, 0, new_width, new_height);
        return new_image;
    }
    private void PrintDocumentOnPrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
    {
        string printstring = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session["_printData"].ToString();
        string path = HttpContext.Server.MapPath("~/content/Images/logo.png");
        System.Drawing.Image img = Image.FromFile(path);


        //img = resizeImage(img, 80, 60);
        e.Graphics.DrawImage(img, 6, 100);
        e.Graphics.DrawString(printstring, new System.Drawing.Font("ronnia", 9), Brushes.Black, 10, 150);

  1. first you have to write windows service that contain HttpListener.
  2. write your printing code inside the service
  3. Install the service in client machine
  4. call that service using ajax like below.

    function PrintReceipt() {

        var PrintData = JSON.parse($("#receiptData").html())

        if (PrintData.length > 0) {

            $.ajax({
                type: "POST", 
                url: "http://localhost:41963/printOrder",
                data: JSON.stringify({ "PrintData": PrintData }), //reciept data
                crossDomain: true, 
                success: function (response) {

                    
                },
                error: function () {
                  
                }
            });
        }

       
    }
