Our client not ready to do something like that.is any other way to print directly or can i go with java script

Printing from a users browser is controller by the browser, not you. — , Mar 08 '16 at 05:25

As I cannot comment yet, I need to post this as an answer.

If you have a barcode that needs to be printed when a new 'Stock Item' is created, I would have maybe have taken the following approach:

Create a Database table responsible for holding print jobs, for instance tblPrintQueue
You will have a service, for instance, a windows service created by you in C#, running in the background, observing the tblPrintQueue, and when a new item has been placed in the table, the service will automatically grab it and print it.
Update your item's status in the tblPrintQueue to say it has been printed.

Creating connections to printers, if they are network printers, are really not that hard to connect to, a simple TCP connection with the Port would do the trick.

I have done this approach before with Inventory Management Systems, and it really helped in our scenario.
