Print Report RDLC without preview ... very important for me.

Hello, I want to ask you about print Report RDLC without preview .
I saw this article here :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252091.aspx
but I did not understand because the code is long and I think difficult.
could you put simple code please?
Thanks a lot.

Would that fix this mod_jk problem? Do you mean to say that I have those permissions when I actually edit those files?
I think the wiki is also mistaken assuming that JAVA_HOME is in the /opt directory.

I follow your instruction as below:
1) download the sample app vbnet_win_printtoprinter.zip to dev computer and compile it to .NET 2005.
- Run from my dev computer
- Click "Print Report" button
- Error message display - please see below
    The error was due to the default printer name hard coded in the program was not found. I have edited to my printer name and it can be printed out with no error.
2) Use a "saved data" report so that you do not have to worry about database logon.
can't find the "saved data", please elaborate
3) Then copy the exe to the 64 bit box and try to print using this sample app.
-do you mean copy the exe to the 64 bit computer for testing ?

Print Report using ASCII command through printer selection available on windows

Hi,
I'm using Labview 2009 to create a report using Report Generation Toolkit.
Creating a report is not the problem, the problem is I need to print the report manually by sending an ASCII Code.
I noticed that there are few example on send ASCII code command, but neither of them are related to printing.
The printer I use is Panasonic dot matrix printer KX-P1121E with USB port. (Fanfold type of paper)
I used "NI_report_lvclass: Print report.vi" from Report Generation before this to print my report, everything is okay and not receiving any error.
But I noticed that after finish printing, the paper will automatically feed out as if that VI (Print report.vi) is sending out "Form Feed" (FF) Command to the printer.
My application cannot use this method because I need to print a set of data in every minute. If the data only have 2 rows, then it will be a wasting a lot of paper if everytime finished printing paper feeding out. I want the printer to continue standby on the same paper after finished printing previous data. In other words, maybe just manually send "Line Feed or Carriage Return" to the printer.
So I have a few things need to be clarified step by step;
1. How can I send an ASCII Code to my printer? Do you have any example for this? link below is the character of ASCII Codes that can be use :http://webpages.charter.net/dperr/links/esc_p83.htm
2. Can I send a report created by report generation to be printed using this ASCII command method?
3. If my printer is setup by using windows (Meaning: Available on "Printer and Faxes" list), How can I configure the printer setup in sending the ASCII Code?
Really appreciated your reply
Thanks!

Hi Zwired1,
Just to make sure I fully understand the situation - I am assuming since you say you are printing to two different printers that when you are using the Print Report.vi you are using the printer name string to specify which printer you would like to print on. And if the printer that you specify is not functioning it automatically prints on the other printer, is that correct?
From looking at the code in the Print Report.vi, it looks like if you specify a printer name in the input string, if there is a problem with that printer or if that printer is unavailable, the VI should not print anything, so please let me know if that is not the behavior you are seeing.
For your question about checking the health of printers, there is a VI in the report gen toolkit called Query Available Printers. You can find it if you open up the Print Report.vi and choose the Standard Report instance, the Query Available Printers.vi is on the block diagram of that VI. It will return the list of available printers and the default printer.
I hope that helps,

BO XI R2 - "Blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window - attempt to print report

My company recently set up a Business Object Enterprise XI Release 2 server. On the server are a number of crystal reports that are run interactively by users, through the user console. The expectation is that the user will log on to the BI server, click on the report title, enter the parameters, see a preview of the report in the Crystal Report Viewer, then click the print icon on the Crystal Report Viewer toolbar.
Our corporate standard is current Windows XP SP3, with Internet Explorer 8; By default, users are set up to use the DHTML report viewer. The reports were developed with the Crystal Reports XI R2 report designer, and connect to an Oracle 10g database through Oracle client.
When users attempt to view, then print the reports, the user is able to select the report, enter the parameters, view the report data, and even page through the report preview with no issues. However, when the user attempts to print the report by clicking the print icon on the Crystal Reports Viewer toolbar, a blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window pops up and remains indefinitely.
The really puzzling thing about this issue is that for about 1/3 of our users, printing will work - a print dialog will appear, allowing the user to select a printer, and when the user clicks OK, the report will print. For the other 2/3 of our users, the blank "Crystal Reports Viewer" window pops up.
I have added the BO XI R2 server's address to trusted sites, adopted the lowest security settings for trusted sites, and enabled all activity I could think of in IE security settings (ActiveX controls-related). I also ran the web site in compatibilitiy mode.
Has anyone on this forum experienced this issue, and does anyone here know how to resolve it?
Thank you,
Bob Gardner

I suspect that this behavior occurs because the client computer is unable to download ActiveX controls.
The report viewer requires the PrintControl.dll to print reports from the client computer. The PrintControl.dll downloads automatically if it has not been previously downloaded on to the client computer, provided that the user that is currently logged on is able to download ActiveX controls.
To enable the download of ActiveX controls on the client computer, perform the following steps:
1) Open your Internet Explorer.
2) From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.
3) In the Security tab, select the web content zone that corresponds to your web application.
4) Click Custom Level.
5) In the Security Settings dialog box, scroll down to find the ActiveX controls and plug-ins section.
6) Select Enable or Prompt for the Download signed ActiveX controls item.
7) The print dialog box will now appear successfully when clicking the print button in the report viewer.
If the above does not help, try to troubleshoot this as follows:
1) click the print button (this will cause a postback to the web page) and then cancel the print dialog. right-click in the web page and select "View Source".
2) Search for the word "printcontrol.cab". This will show you where the application is trying to download the printcontrol from.
Paste the URL into a browser.
3) If you get prompted to "open or save to disk" the url is correct and there is a browser setting or possibly even a system policy preventing the download.
4) If you get a "404 page not found" or a similar error message, investigate the URL.
5) If the issue is on your local web server, see if it is possible to browse to the URL in IIS manager.

How to hide report server windows while sending report directlly to printer

Hi Gurus,
I am new in adf and using jdev 11.1.2.3.
I am calling oracle report from adf application. if the destination type is preview then report open in new tab. And if destination type is printer report open in new tab displaying report server screen. i am sending url to new tab. i want if destination is printer then no tab to be open and url must be rendered (run) in background. Any idea or solution for this issue

Hi
I just want to share it with you people. I am able to parse the report server url in background now. Here is my sample code.
public void openUrlInBackground(String url) {
URL report;
try {
report = new URL(url);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(report.openStream()));
in.close();
catch(Exception e) {
JSFUtils.addFacesErrorMessage("Error while parsing report url:"+e.getMessage());

Error 7 occurred at Get LV Class Default Value.vi only in my executable for Print Report - LV 2010 SP1

I have a program written which uses the print report function. Everything works fine in the uncompiled code, my report prints just fine. I can compile my project all the way to a full installer. When I run the executable I get the error:
Error 7 occurred at Get LV Class Default Value.vi
With the following text:
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS X, and / on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or file explorer.

LabVIEW attempted to load the class at this path:
H:\InMotion\EMS\builds\EMS_01\Emissions Analyzer\EMS.exe\1abvi3w\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb\Standard Report\NI_Standard Report.lvclass
"EMS V3.0 streamline.vi" is my main vi, "print report.vi" is the subvi that creates and prints the report based on all the information sent to it. I get no warning when I compile this to an executable. I already tried repairing both LV SP1 and the report generator toolkit. No change after I compile to an exe.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ok, I tried that... and now I get an error when I try to compile to an executable... This is right at the end of the build and will not let me build an executable.

Print report does not work in built mode (LV7.1+XP)

Good morning,
I've read some threads about the topic in this Q, but no solution. So my hope is that NI has resolved the problem. Here it goes:
In normal edit mode I can use the Print Report.vi (using the default win printer) to print out some data. The generated report is a standard NI report (that is NOT HTML).
When building an application this no longer works. No data is passed to windows (the printer icon in the system tray never appears) - and hence no output on the printer!
I use WinXP and LV7.1 in both modes. The printer is a HP2300 LaserJet but I've also tried using the old stable Canon LBP 8 II on the FILE: port - but in .exe mode the file box does not appear.
I really hope that NI has a solution
for the problem since we need the built application on several client. And we do not want to pay for several LV licenses.
Speculations on both the application builder and report generation tools have been given in previous threads... However, these gave no solution and all threads are from before LV7.1.
Thanks in advance!
Martin

Are you sure you checked the "NI R
eport Support" under the Advanced
button of the Installer tab in the application builder?

Colors of the Icons in the Print Document Content Window

When you right click a single source layout and click properties and then click next it takes you to the Print Document Content Window, where you can take topics and by clicking the arrow that points to the right hand frame, move the topics into your print document.
I have seen posts on this forum where people talk about the colors of the icons on this screen. I have seen these icons colored blue, white and grey, but nowhere in the documentation or on these forums are the colors specifically documented, telling you what they really mean.
I have a situation where for one of my single source layouts, the colors of the topics on the left pane are blue and the colors on the right pane are white. Meanwhile, in another one of my single source layouts the colors on the left are blue, but the colors on the right are grey and that single source layout doesn't generate the topics that I want.
Can anyone explain to me what these colors mean, and if as I am thinking, grey means not there, why are they there in one single source layoput and not in the other?
Below are some screen shots that illustrate my issue.
This is the bad screen.
and this is the good one.

Hi there
The gray icons signify that the topics have been excluded by virtue of using a Conditional Build Expression.
The blue icons signify that the topics are included in the Printed Output.
Cheers... Rick

Connecting a Mac Pro to A printer on local windows network

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked/answered before. I couldn't find in forum.
I am trying to connect my MacPro to a network printer on a windows computer set up for printer sharing.
I have tried everything [all OSX help files, network setup, even purchased a printer server, etc] but nothing works. I've installed windows xp pro with boot camp and while in windows, I can use the network printer, but not from Mac OSX.
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance

How about OS X System Preferences => Sharing.
You need to enable the services you want to use which will also open the ports used and unblock in the firewall.

Hyperion Anaylzer - how to Print report with information in pages?

Hi, I use Hyperion Analyzer Version: 6.1.1.00206 (from Help | About menu). I created report with pages (on Navigate button selected the Pages). In pages are months (January, February, March, etc). Now I would like to print current report. So I did: 1. click on arrow beside Print button 2. Print Current Report windows is displayed. I selected default options and press OK button. Report is printed, but there is no page information printed out. So on paper there is report without months (January, February, March, etc). How to print report with information in pages? Thanks, Grofaty

Jia Shun,
I had the same issue for printing A/R Invoices - I created a Crystal Report based on a SQL View, works fine with A/R Invoice document, but the Draft Invoice printing has 3 pages: 1st page blank, 2nd page with watermark "DRAFT", 3rd page my Crystal Report layout without any data. When printing normally it is only 1 page.
Here is what I did as a work around:
Create two SQL Views, one select from OINV (joining INV1 and other tables needed), the other select from ODRF (joining DRF1 and other tables needed), for the draft printing.
Create two identicle Crystal Reports, only difference are: datasource location (from different views), the "draft" crystal report has a watermark section.
Go to Administration>System Initialization>Print Preferences and uncheck "Print draft watermark..."
Import both crystal reports. Invoice can be printed normally. But the Draft Invoice has more steps: Open Draft document report, change settings so it shows the DocEntry in the Draft Table. Select and open the desired document, hit Print Preview, and enter the DocEntry, it displays the layout with data and "DRAFT" watermark.
This is a workaround. I don't like it because it is not scalable - too much workload if you want to print 100 invoices.
Hopefully someone will provide a better solution.
regards,
G

Printing report to direct print 9i

Hi,
I am able to direct print the reports on web using normal parameters...i.e. desname, destype and desformat.
When it prints successfully, it gives us a message in a separate browser window "The report has been successfully printed out"
And we don't want this message. Can anybody tell me to suppress this window and message ?
Command:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet?
report=REPORT.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@ora&
P_DEPTNO='||:EMP.DEPTNO||'&
desformat=htmlcss&destype=printer', '_blank');
Thanks,
Martonio.

Martonio,
if you use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT() built-in in Forms to print Reports then you don't have this problem.
If you request the Report directly from a Web browser, not using Forms at all, please ask the same question on teh reports forum here on OTN.
