Hi Alexander Sabato!

Run this [command](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/178/synchronous-and-asynchronous-command-execution-in-c-sharp-dot-net) into command prompt

rundll32.exe %WINDIR%\System32\mshtml.dll,PrintHTML "FilePath"

If you are using C#, than used line of code as below

```
using (Process printProcess = new Process())
{
    string systemPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System);
    printProcess.StartInfo.FileName = systemPath + @"\rundll32.exe";
    printProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = systemPath + @"\mshtml.dll,PrintHTML """ + FilePath + @"""";
    printProcess.Start();
}
```

Note: Here "FilePath", represent path of document which you want to print.
