Report Server: Error initializing printer

Oracle Report Server 6.0 for Windows NT doesn't work. When I try to call any report I get next error message:
Error message returned from Reports server:
REP-3002: Error initializing printer.
Please make sure a printer is installed.
The printer is installed on Windows NT server and is default. Where is the error? My URL example:
http://mccrash.eagle.ru/ows-bin/rwcgi60.exe?report=test.rdf+userid=scott/tiger+server=reportsserver+desformat=html+destype=cache
Next URLs work successufully:
http://mccrash.eagle.ru/ows-bin/rwcgi60.exe/help
http://mccrash.eagle.ru/ows-bin/rwcgi60.exe/showenv
http://mccrash.eagle.ru/ows-bin/rwcgi60.exe/showmap
What ideas?

Fyi -- in Reports 6i a printer is no longer mandatory. eg if you're only doing web publishing, you don't need to setup a printer and give the Reports server access to it (of course, if you're trying to print from Reports - you need a printer! ;-).
To answer your question, make sure the USER that is running the Reports server as an NT service has access to a printer. If it's the SYSTEM account (goto Control Panel -> Services and double click on the Oracle Reports Server xxxxx entry (where xxxxx is the name of the server) and look at the user account that is running the server. If it's the SYSTEM account, it doesn't have access to a printer, so change it to a user (either local or domain user) that does have printer access.

  • Batch PDF Reports raising error REP-3002: Error initializing printer.

    We are running Reports 6.0 in Windows NT 4.0. When run manually the PDF reports are able to see the PostScript Print Driver and generates PDF output. We have a batch job on the NT that gets kicked off from the Mainframe via XPATH, which spawns multiple report processes as needed to run the PDF reports. We get the error "REP-3002: Error initializing printer." under this scenario.
    Any help to resolve this will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    i've changed to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT as your advice and followed the instructions in "Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility - An Oracle Technical White Paper December 2000". i tested orarrp by created the HTML file follow the steps in page 5 of the paper, it worked.
    then i modified existed form, set report object property like this :
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE, FILE);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESNAME,'test.rrpa');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,'Rep60_NTSERVER2');
    note : i'm not sure that i set the right value for REPORT_SERVER property, i got this value from TNSNAMES.ORA file.
    then call the report with this statement :
    :GLOBAL.ReportHandle := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
    it showed the same error message :
    "REP-3002 Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed."
    i think i set something wrong, but i don't know where. could you help me ?

    Hello,
    This is my configuraton:
    Computer 1 : nt4, sp3, installed: Oracledatabase 7.3.4
    Computer 2 : nt4, sp3, installed: Oracle WebDb, forms 6i, formserver 6i and reports 6i.
    Services WebDb and Listener are running.
    I've connected an HP LaserJet III to the parallel port of computer 2. In the printer
    control panel of NT4, this printer is set as the 'default' printer.
    'myform.fmx' is a simple form.
    The code consists only of a 'when-button-pressed' trigger as follows:
    declare
    pl paramlist;Ln varchar(15) :='Elsa';
    BEGIN
    pl :=get_parameter_list(Ln);
    if not id_null(pl) then destroy_parameter_list(pl);end if;

    When I run the form in preview for the web in formbuilder 6i, then it works very well,
    it prints my report.
    But when I run it from the cgi 'ifcgi60.exe' by the command
    start -> programs -> oracle forms 6i -> run a form on the web
    it returns

    then the error returned in the webbrowser is

    if parameter 'DESTYPE' is set to 'SCREEN' then it works very well, I can print by clicking the print icon.

  • "Error initializing printer. Printer name is invalid." How to fix it?

    "Error initializing printer. Printer name is invalid." How to fix it?

    You showed a kernel panic file from OS X, apprantly Log Me In is installed into OS X or running when you log in.
    You should be using the developers installer/unistaller to remove Log Me In from OS X.
    Somehow it's in OS X, I don't know, but it's there and you need to remove it. I'm not dealing with Windows, just OS X.
    Talk to Log Me In people and find out what is installed where so you can do a manual deletion out of OS X.
    If that doesn't work, you have to reboot holding the Shift key down manually search for any Log Me In or Himachi files on your computer, in your System/Library/Extensions folder too, use the free Easy Find.

  • No current report server error

    Using Report Builder 3.0,  I get no current report server error and when I run the report I get no data. Does anyone know how I can remedy this problem?
    sukai

    Hi sukai,
    Based on your description, it seems that you have not connect report server when you run a report in Report Builder. In this scenario, I suggest that you should click the Connect option with “No current report server” in the lower-left corner.
    If you have access to the machine where SSRS is installed, you can open up the Reporting Services Configuration Manager. Then you can see the Report Server Web Service URLs in the Web Service URL tab. Another option is directly type the following URL in
    the popup window:
    http://<machine name>/ReportServer_<SQL Server instance name>
    If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

  • Unable to print a report- Server Error

    I have a java/CR XI (sp3) web application which will display reporters but will not print them. When attempting to print the Crystal report viewer page shows the print dialog page with a choice of printers. When I select a printer and press print. I get a "Server Error" message box that says "An error occured on the server. Printing will be stopped. Would you like to view the error information?" When I say "yes" I get a blank page "PrintControlError.html". There is also a background window that says "Retrieving page 1".
    Edited by: Allen Oliver on Sep 2, 2008 9:11 AM

    That suggest a communication issue between the ActiveX Print Control and the server.
    The ActiveX Print Control posts back to the generating page for each page that it prints out.
    If you use [Fiddler|http://www.fiddlertool.com/] (.NET based) or [Charles|http://www.charlesproxy.com/] (Java based) on the client browser machine, are you able to see any error messages in the page 1 request?
    ActiveX controls usually hide interesting error messages.

  • ActiveX server error when printing

    I have CR 2008 with sp3 installed on a Win2k8 R2 Enterprise server and I get a "Server Error - An error occurred on the server.  Printing will be stopped.  Would you like to view the error information?".  This message box pops up after I select my printer and click the print button.  Any suggestions?

    Are you running IIS7 (OK possibly a silly question since you're on WIN 2008)?
    If you are, see if running the application pool in classic pipeline mode helps. See Kb [1427747|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] for more details.
    Make sure you are not using IIS compression;

IIS Compression causes ActiveX printing to fail in the .NET web form viewer|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_erq/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do]
    Are you using reverse proxies?
    If you are, see Kbase [1197229 - Using reverse proxies with the Crystal Reports for .NET WebForm Viewer control|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do]. This Kb is written for CR XI R2, but the general idea will apply to CR 2008.
    If none of the above helps, it may be a good idea to see if [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] or [Charles|http://www.charlesproxy.com/download.php] tells you something.

    Hi Elaine,
    So everything worked fine until you installed CRXI and BO R2 SP4?  Let me know if the order of installation I have below is correct:
    1.  crystal report server XI R2 .Net server 2005
    2.  Crystal report server XI (BO)
    3.  Crystal Report XI
    4.  BO XI SP4 
    I know the .net viewer is usually set up in the Crystal Reports Server installation.  I'm unsure as to why you have it listed separately.
    Also which version of BO (Crystal Reports Server) are you installing (R1,R2,R3)?   Could you clearly outline your first 2 installation steps?

  • Report server error 1075

    I have installed 9iAS v 10222 enterprise edition on p4 machine.
    9iAS installed ok.

    set the system account from services.
    and start the new report server. But the error occurs while starting the report server.

    Hi,
    this is the Oracle Forms forum, you might have more luck in the Reports forum here Reports
    However, I guess you installed the reports server as a service under windows, right? Check the DependOnService registry key value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<reports server key>
    Uninstall the reports server using rwserver -uninstall <server_name> and reinstall it using rwserver -install <server_name> [batch=yes/no] [autostart=yes/no] with valid parameters.
