Print newly created report later

Hi all,

I am creating reports using crystal report in VB.NET. The reports are created successfully and can be converted to PDF and Word.

After the creation i send generated documents as email. And also have to print them.

I don't want to use Adobe/Word for the printing. I want to create .prn files for printing in the generation process.

Is there any other option which can be used to print the created report.

I can print the reports directly from crystal reports but i want to split the process in two phases
1, Generation
2, Dispatching

Looking for ideaCant you make use of Print button avaliable in the Report?|||Thanks for your reply.

But the scenario is entierly different in my case. I am using Crystal Reports as window service and the process is splited in two phases

1, Generation
2, Dispatching

One process will generate a document and then save it
the other process will print that generated document

I can generate and print in one process with out storing the file on disk. But i want to do it in two steps.

Regards|||What is the difficulty in doing this in two steps?|||The difficulty is,
I have to create a report in Step one and have to save it to the disk. Right in which format i would store it so i can again open it through crystal report and send its print?

Or is there any other format to store the generated report? SO i can print it again through crystal report.

I don't want to use MS Word or Adobe automation for printing.

Regards|||If you show the report in your application, enable print button so that you can print it from CR|||Madhi
Thanks for the reply but i think you are not getting the issue which i am facing.
My application runs as Windows Service it has no GUI.
Also first i have to create a report , save it to the disk. The other process will print that saved report file.

I can save the report in pdf, word and other suported formats but to print pdf i have to use Adobe or to print word i need MS Word. Which i don't want.

I directly want to print the saved file.

Regards|||Well. Which front end application are you using?|||There is no such Front End.

The request is submitted to the data base and the application checks the data base for any new request.

On the new request it generates the report and stor/export in specific format also updates the data base.

The other application picks the stored documents/files and prints then, email or fax them then again update the database.

Email and Faxing is working well but the print is creating problem as i described in my previous reply.|||See if you are able find solution here

Print in Landscape

What's the trick to get reports to correctly print in Landscape mode? Most
recent solution does print using special code, but always does an extra
blank page dump at end.To print reports in landscape mode, you have to set page size to 29,7 cm; 21
cm.
After doing this, be sure that all your report items are placed into this
size, taking into account also the margins you have configured. This is to
say that your report width can not be greater that 29,7 cm - Left margin -
Right margin. This way, you will not have extra blank pages in your report.
Hope this helps,

Print Icono

Dear
Why in my reports dont show print icono or print button?
Help me pleaseDid you install Service Pack 2 on your server ?

Print Icon does not function

Hello,

I display my reports through ReportViewer embedded into my ASP.Net application. The Print icon on the ReportViewer works fine on my computer but on other computers. It does not bring the window so that user select the printer. And sometimes I see "Problems with this web page might prevent it from being displayed properly"

Why does this happen and how can I resolve it for all the computers.

Jim H.

For some reason - I like you - you are always encountering a problem - which means you experiment!

Have you installed SP2 of RS?

First of all, tell me your configuration!@.

I can help!

Joe

Once again, have you installed SP2 of RS?

print from toolbar

Hello, I have created an asp.net application using VS .Net 2003, which has a Report Viewer to include reports from my report manager.

The reportviewer has been set to include the standard toolbar, which includes the print button. However, when I use this option, the system prints more pages than it should. If the report is 2 pages long, I end up getting 6 pages, the other four having just the header and footer...(2 blanks pages after each page when port. ana 1 black after each page if landscape)

Any1 know the solution to this problem? I have not coded anything for the print option....

Thanks :)

Check the width of your reports. If it is too wide then printing it will create extra pages.

Print format of Linked Reports

Having just discovered that linked reports do not retain any print formating applied to the original report I thought I'd check out the forum and see if it was just me having a senile moment or if Microsoft had in fact dropped a clanger of massive proportion.

After reading one or two questions from other RS users it does seem as if Microsoft have stuck again and completely diminished a useful feature by stripping it of anything, well....... useful. Well done MS, you once again have my applause for mind-boggling ineptitude of what should be impossible magnitude. Ah, you've got to laugh.

Maybe this and other bugs with RS2005 will be ironed out in Microsoft Reporting Services 2008 - The Search for More Money.

I was also disappointed that linked reports did not retain the print format from the source report. Below is a link with a couple of possible work arounds.

Thanks, I did come across these when I originally searched this problem on the forum but I haven't yet had chance to read or try any of them.

Using scripts and code kind of makes me feel like I've just bought a new Jag but I'm still required to delve into the engine bay and hot-wire it because the key fails to work, if you know what I mean. In any case there doesn't seem to be any alternative so I'll have to get my fingers dirty.

Print directly frm PDF format

hi,
is there any ways to print the reports directly frm the web application by
rendering the reports to pdf format?
regards
AngelaThe user will have to export the report to PDF first and then print. There
is no way for Report Manager to automate this.

in that case, there is no other way whereby i can call to print the report
directly from my application? because i have tried rendering my report to
html format and the print result is different from reporting services print.
because the page number is different.And i cant use the method
"&rs:Command=Get&rc:GetImage=8.00.1038.00RSClientPrint.html" because it will
promt the user the option to select printer whereby my user will print multi
reports at a click. so this will result the active x to prompt multi print
dialog.

app could display EMF rather then HTML and then just print the EMF and the
user would be viewing what they would print, however you would loose
interactivity.
The problem with using HTML is it does not print nicely. This is why we
created the ActiveX control to print reports. The activeX control uses EMF
to print reports. Because this is a different format (different from HTML)
the pages don't always line up. RS does not expose any mechanism for
printing the current HTML page.

Print Date and Time

I am currently using the global execution time in my reports, but I would
also like to show the user what time they view the report. I guess in
Crystal they distinguish between the two as "Data Date" which would be the
execution time and then "Print Date" which is the date and time the report
is viewed. Does any one know if there a way to show this is RS?
Thanks,
LisaPlease review .Net's DateTime functionality (Search on DateTime in MSDN).
In your case your could place, in a textbox, an expression like
=DateTime.Now.
You could also use the Now() function.

Print data from an ASP.NET ReportViewer that contains multiple pages from FireFox?

Hi,

I have this application in which I am using a number of reports containing one or more pages. When using IE as explorer, the printing button is be?ng displayed properly. When clicking that button, everything works as it should. But when using Firefox as browser, the print button doesn't show up. So I thought about going to the menu of the browser and choose File > Print. The result looks just like a printscreen and when the report contains multiple pages, I am not able to print them in a decent way.

On the internet I read the main reason for this is that Firefox does not work with ActiveX-Objects. In this way it would not be possible to print out the pages!

Can anyone help me out?

Thx a lot!

Recloose!

Anyone?

Print control stops working

I have a few reports that suddenly stopped printing.

Nothing changed on the report server, and one minute they could print, the other they couldn't

I have one report that is 4 pages in preview and six when it prints. The users press the print control on the web page and the print dialog comes up, they select a printer and the printing messagebox comes up. Then it will print a couple of pages VERY SLOWLY... and eventually will hang at the 3rd page.

IT appears it is just spooling in the printer control viewer...

Other similiar reports that use the same query but a different parameter, work just fine.

I have rebuilt and redployed the report. The problem is happening on both my live and test environments.

I have looked through this forum but not found an answer. I did delete and re-isntall the client print control.

I have turned the client logging on. But no errrors show up anywhere.

I am running ssrs 2005 on both machines. test machine has win2003 sp1 , sql 2005 sp2 AND hotfix's

live machine has win2003 and sql 2000 latest sp.

I need help!

Print button is not visible in rdlc report

I am using client side reports (.rdlc) with ASP.Net 2.0 and SQL Server 2000. Reports are generating fine. But there is no print button on report viewer when i generate report. I use browser's print option to print reports but reports does not get printed properly. Can some one tell me how to enable Print button in client side reports.

Local reports in web apps dont support printing . you should write your own print function for that .

you have to render the report and the print generated emf files .here is a sample code but its in win apps.

you should create your own print function

Now, every time I click the print button on the RS toolbar, I get this
message:

Besides the fact that occurred is spelled wrong, why is this error
happening? I tried deleting all RSClient* files from \Windows\Downloaded

Print Button

I have a web application with a stand alone report. When I put the ReportViewer in the webform I can see every reports in the project. The problem is that I can't see the print report button...

If I indicate that the report is a "Server Report" instead a local report the Print Report appear, but a need a "Local Report" not a "Server Report" How can i solve that.

Thank you.The ASP.NET version of the ReportViewer control does not support client print (which is accomplished with an ActiveX control) in local mode. We are considering adding this in a future release.

Print Barcodes with the Active X print control

We are having problems printing Reports (when printing by clicking on the AcitiveX print control), where the font for the fields are set to "C39HrP24DhTt" (barcode).

While viewing the report it displays as Barcodes but while printing, the Barcode does not get printed, but the string gets printed.

Environment: SSRS 2005

Using the ReportViewer Control in a .Net 2.0 Web App to render the reports.

BarCodes print fine in the following situations:

1. When the Report is exported to Excel and when printed from there

2. When you click on the print button on Internet Explorer

3. When saving as html (from view source) and opening that html document and printing.

BarCodes do NOT get printed in the following situation:

1. When printing by clicking on the "Print" (Active X Control) icon. Even the "Print Preview" does not show the Barcode.

We figured the problem. Here is the solution.

Unlike other printing which happens on the client side, with the Active X print control provided with SSRS, it creates an image of what needs to be printed on the server side and then issues the print command, and the processed image is sent from the client side. So, for the special fonts like barcode to work correctly we have to have it on the client machine (for viewing) and also on the report servers (for printing through the active X print control) .

1. Install the font on the Reporting Services machine using the following steps:

a. Open the C:\winnt\fonts folder directly on the machine. (Do not use a file share to do this operation)

b. Drag and drop the font you want to install into this folder.

Print Barcodes with the Active X print control

We are having problems printing Reports (when printing by clicking on the AcitiveX print control), where the font for the fields are set to "C39HrP24DhTt" (barcode).

While viewing the report it displays as Barcodes but while printing, the Barcode does not get printed, but the string gets printed.

Environment: SSRS 2005

Using the ReportViewer Control in a .Net 2.0 Web App to render the reports.

BarCodes print fine in the following situations:

1. When the Report is exported to Excel and when printed from there

2. When you click on the print button on Internet Explorer

3. When saving as html (from view source) and opening that html document and printing.

BarCodes do NOT get printed in the following situation:

1. When printing by clicking on the "Print" (Active X Control) icon. Even the "Print Preview" does not show the Barcode.

We figured the problem. Here is the solution.

Unlike other printing which happens on the client side, with the Active X print control provided with SSRS, it creates an image of what needs to be printed on the server side and then issues the print command, and the processed image is sent from the client side. So, for the special fonts like barcode to work correctly we have to have it on the client machine (for viewing) and also on the report servers (for printing through the active X print control) .

1. Install the font on the Reporting Services machine using the following steps:

a. Open the C:\winnt\fonts folder directly on the machine. (Do not use a file share to do this operation)

b. Drag and drop the font you want to install into this folder.

c. Do an IISRESET from a command prompt to make sure the font will get loaded correctly when a user views a report.

print as landscape

Is there a way to get reports to print as landscape instead of potrait
automatically? I changed the Layout from properties to the correct width
and page height, the display looks fine but when I print, it tries to print
it on potrait setting. I've tried printing from both the report previewer
and deployed as an html document.
Thanks
-JoeHi,
I am also facing a similar problem. Is there a method where you make a
report in potrait style and print it in landscape.
thanks

this is a simple implementation - not "wait for SP2" or something like

Print a list of reports on the report server.

I would like to print a list of all reports in a report server.
The name and comments are needed but I would like to know what else is
printable.
Also:
I heard that reporting service will also print reports about the exchange
server.
things like names of the accounts and how much space they are taking up.
If it can be broken down to forlder details that would be great!
things like the delete folder : how much space
Junk mail : how much space.
ect...
Are these two things posible?

I can't speak to the exchange server part; however, for SSRS reports,
you should look into these stored procedures:
FindObjectsNonRecursive
FindObjectsRecursive
Hope this helps.

Previewing reports - MissingMethodException

Hi, after installing RS SP1, when I want to preview a report in VS.NET 2003,
I get an error- MissingMethodException: Method not found: System.String
Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Globals.GetCurrentWindowsUserName().
I guess its because Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.dll is somehow
wrongly registered, I tried to register it with regsvr32.exe (both copies,
one in Documents and Setting and one under RS home directory) but I didnt
succeed.
The report renders allright in Report Manager, but I really miss the
Preview, because it slows down the developing so much.
Any help would be appreciated.I even tried to unisnstall Reporting Services and did a clean install again,
but it didnt help. I really dont feel like reinstalling Windows now...

Previewing RDL without Designer

Folks,
Is there a way to preview the "RDL" Reports programatically without
deploying to the report Server.
We needs this ability for the creation of ad-hoc reports where user designs
the contents of the report...
Any idea...? Appreciated...!
RakeshWith the new controls in local mode you can do this. The next beta for
Widbey (Visual Studio) will have both a web and winform control. They will
work both with and without Server. In local mode you can give it the rdl and
the dataset. The next beta should be available before too long. There is no
other way available until then.

I am working on something similar at the moment, and have had reasonable
results using the following.
Use the webservice interface to temporarily create a hidden folder, Create a
report from the RDL, render the report, then delete the report and folder.
All these actions are available through the SOAP interface. Its long winded
but does seem to work fine.

Quagmire|||Take a look at the RDL Project: http://www.fyireporting.com/
It has a control for viewing locally.
