        string NombreArchivoPDF = "C_Administrativa " + DateTime.Today.ToString("dd-MM-yyyy") + ".pdf";
        string path_Original=Server.MapPath(directorioRaiz+NombreArchivoPDF);
        string path_Copia = Server.MapPath(directorioRaiz + "Copia_"+NombreArchivoPDF);

        if (System.IO.File.Exists(path_Original))

            //SI EXISTE EL ARCHIVO EN LA CARPETA, LO MANDA A IMPRIMIR
            Inicia_PrintScript(path_Original, path_Copia);
            ViewData["path_Copia"] = path_Copia;
            //Elimina los archivos , despues de que se imprimio
            // System.IO.File.Delete(path_Original);
            //System.IO.File.Delete(path_Copia);
        }
        else
        {
            //SI NO EXISTE MANDA LLAMAR AL METODO PARA DESCARGAR EL ARCHIVO Y DESPUES IMPRIMIRLO
            Genera_Pdf_Administrativo();
            Inicia_PrintScript(path_Original, path_Copia);
            ViewData["path_Copia"] = path_Copia;
            //Elimina los archivos , despues de que se imprimio
            //System.IO.File.Delete(path_Original);
            //System.IO.File.Delete(path_Copia);
        }
        return View();
    }

second part

    {
        PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(Original);
        PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileStream(Copia, FileMode.Create));
        AcroFields fields = stamper.AcroFields;
        stamper.JavaScript = "this.print(true);\r";
        stamper.FormFlattening = true;
        stamper.Close();
        reader.Close();

You're trying to load a local resource. That won't work at all once deployed at the server. You need to route the PDF through a controller action. — CodeCaster, Apr 30 '19 at 17:57

Well, it's possible to open a PDF with print dialog in another tab.

In your controller you need to get the file in memory just to return it, or generate the file on fly.

public FileResult PDFToReturn()
{
    string filePath = Server.MapPath("Path_to_PDF");
    return File(System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath), System.Web.MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping(filePath));
}

javascript does the magic.

function printPDF() {
    let link = 'javascript:w=window.open("/Controller/PDFToReturn"); w.print();';
    location.href = link;
}

It's posible print PDF when PDF is open in memorystream?
