"Doesn't work" - how? Is the target file present on the office computer? Is there even a C:\temp folder? Does the user you are running as have rights to the file in C:\temp? — slugster, Jul 04 '14 at 01:18
Folder is created and the file is also present but it hangs when it tries to run this code. — Hasan Zubairi, Jul 04 '14 at 01:21
The process hangs? You've not got a printer settings dialog that isn't being shown? — slugster, Jul 04 '14 at 01:24
yes but it hangs with windows busy icon and nothing happens the screen dulls and have to shut down the application. — Hasan Zubairi, Jul 04 '14 at 01:25
Remove the "CreateNoWindow=true" line, and try it again, it may help you debug the problem. — dodald, Jul 04 '14 at 01:40
The error it is giving is system.InvalidOperationException Process has exited so the requested information is not available — Hasan Zubairi, Jul 04 '14 at 04:16

Some computers are slower then others so the process is exiting before it is finished. Increasing the thread sleep time fixed the problem.
