Print Button

Print button is disabled for some users. Don't know why it is doing so? Works fine for most of the users in the same group.

Any help is much appreciated.

SQL SERVER Reporting Services 2000

Win XP

check whether any printer drivers are installed in the machine.

if no printers are installed, then print button gets disabled

Thank you much! I will check that.

|||Actually printer is installed. But still print button is greyed out.|||

Also check the RSPRINTCLIENT control in the C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files folder. I they ran on the beta then this dll could be very old. It doesn't seem to get updated when the server does. You can remove it and RS will download a new one.

Although I don't think this will cause the print button to be dimmed out. But if you have a printer installed and its a valid driver, you should get the button at least.

|||R U using rdl or rdlc files..... ?|||

We are using rdl files.

Thanks

The print button is disabled if the users in question cannot download and install the RS Printing ActiveX control.

We have several users who run as non-admin accounts. You have to log onto their machines as an admin and then print the report once. After that the ActiveX control is installed and it works for them.

|||Is there anyway of removing the Print functionality of Report Manager i.e. disabling printing directly from Report Manager?
This in RS 2005
