ActiveX Print Control

1) I am having issues using the ActiveX print control.
If I login as an Administrator I can get the control to work properly.
On the dame machine I login as a standard user and I cannot use the print control.
Any ideas why this is?
It does sound like a permissions issue but I dont know where to start looking.
This only happens on one client site.
2) I do have another client getting issues with the print control. They print a report using the control. It prints out but they get an error "An error occured on the server. Printing will be stopped."

It's best to send the request via your IT organization - I'm assuming they're the ones who locked down the ActiveX download feature.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

  • Need alternative for activex print control using Crystal reports 2008

    I have created a .Net web application (2.0/3.5 .Net framework) with crystal reports 2008.
    Reports are viewed using Crystal reports 2008 activex viewer.
    On click of PRINT icon in activex viewer, activex print control download prompt will be displayed on client machine.
    I need to avoid downloading of activex print control on client machine. Is there any other alternative or option to use print functionality in viewer without downloading activex print control on client machine?
    Or Is there any other workaround for print functionality in Crystal reports 2008 Viewer without downloading activex print control?
    Note: Activex print control download prompt will not be displayed when using Crystal reprots XI Release 2 version.
    Thanks,
    Jagannath

    Does anyone know which files need to be registered for the ActiveX print control?  We occasionally have users who somehow break their Crystal ActiveX controls, and they can no longer see the print options.  In Crystal 10, I was able to fix these issues by pushing a package which registered several files on the user's computer.

  • Printing Extremely Slow Using Crystal Reports 2008 ActiveX Print Control

    Problem:
    We are trying to upgrade our existing Crystal Reports 10.0 ActiveX Viewer ASP based reports to the new Crystal Reports 2008 ASPX Report Viewer but are having print performance issues that have prohibited us from moving forward.
    Environment:
    Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition 32-bit with SP1
    IIS 6.0 running ASP .NET version 2.0.50727
    Crystal Reports 2008 SP0 with FP1
    Crystal PrintControl.dll version 12.0.0.796 (verified on server and client)
    Details:
    Crystal Reports 2008 ASPX Report Viewer Object & ActiveX Print Control Report Printing Scenario
    From a typical 27 page report, the user clicks the Print icon from the ASPX Report Viewer Object.
    The Print window with the message Crystal Reports Print Control immediately appears on the screen.  This window is on the screen for approx 30 seconds.
    The Print Setup window finally appears on the screen.  The user verifies the printer, chooses to print pages 1-5, and clicks the Print button from the window.
    The Retrieving page 1 message appears in the Print window.  The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
    The Printing page 1 message appears in the Print window.  The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
    The Printing page 2 message appears in the Print window.  The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
    The Printing page 3 message appears in the Print window.  The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
    The Printing page 4 message appears in the Print window.  The message remains in the window for approx 30 seconds.
    The Printing page 5 message appears in the Print window.  The message is in the window for less than 1 second.
    After 3 MINUTES of waiting the report finally starts printing.
    Crystal Reports 10 ASP ActiveX Report Viewer Report Printing Scenario
    From the same typical 27 page report that was used in the Crystal Reports 2008 scenario, the user clicks the Print icon from the ASP ActiveX Report Viewer.
    The Print window Immediately appears on the screen.  The user verifies the printer, chooses to print pages 1-5, and clicks the Print button from the window.
    The Print window Immediately disappears from the screen and the report Immediately starts printing.
    The entire print process takes only 3 u2013 4 SECONDS.
    Even  though we are trying to get the users to decrease the amount of paper used in report printing.  They still do a significant amount of printing.  The difference between the print performance using Crystal Reports 10 (3-4 seconds) and Crystal Reports 2008 (3 minutes) is totally unacceptable to our users.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there a known fix for it?  This is the only thing holding us back from our upgrade and it has become very frustrating to us.
    Much thanks to anyone that can shed some light on this.

    Hi Brian,
    Please have a look at [this|Crystal 11.5 Activex control for viewer; post.
    However, have you tried with the No Printer options available in Print Options window from designer?

  • Where can I find a copy of the Crystal Report Print Control

    Hello,
    Our users have access to a report portal developed in house which uses the Crystal Report Viewer to display the Crystal Reports created in Visual Studio 2010. the first time they open the portal and try to print the report the loading dialog box that comes up keeps spinning and spinning. The reason for that is that they don't have admin rights to the computer. I would like a copy of the driver so We can push it out to their computers. Any idea where I can find a downloadable version?
    Thank You

  • Print Control in InfoView

    We are having issues with printing reports in InfoView.  Sometimes it asks us to install the activex print control if we log onto that machine as the administrator.  Is there an exe of the print control that can be installed instead of waiting to be prompted to install it?  It does not prompt to be installed on every computer.  Also some users where the print control load internet explorer immediately gets an error and when you hit ok it closes.  Please advise.

    This may not be the answer you are looking for, but I ran into the same issue with the ActiveX control. I got around the issue by setting the report default settings to "Always Print to PDF" under Print Settings. This forces the report to be loaded in Adobe Reader. This seems to work reliably.

  • Activex view/print control downloads

    Currently running SAP Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 in a production environment. We have installed and are testing Enterprise 3.1 and will all likelihood will move this new version into production this upcoming weekend (7/17) and shut down XI R2.
    I would love it if someone could PLEASE explain what triggers the whole activex view and print control downloads. This has to be the most frustrating thing with BO product.
    Here's the deal. Sometimes it prompts for download, sometimes it does not. Yes, all the activex security controls and plug-in settings are activated properly (ie: prompting for activex download are either enabled or set to prompt). We have a fair number of users who do NOT have local admin rights on their PC's so we were worried we'd have to figure out how to push out the controls. Yet, in testing 3 separate machines (using the new 3.1 release), none of them got prompted for downloads and they were still able to view and/or print reports using activex. I was led to believe that with the new release (3.1), it would be like viewing or printing for the first time and download/install of activex controls would be required. Is that bad information? Does it use the 11.5 activex add-on's that are already installed for current production system instead?
    Bottom line, I have seen it prompt on some machines and not on others. All machines are actively using the XI R2 production system also. I just have them use a differnt link to test the 3.1 release. So, what triggers the request for download? Why do some users get the prompt and others don't?

    Why are you doing this with BO4 just released?
    the issue of active X depends on
    the version of IE
    the settings of download ActiveX
    IF the Active X download have already happened
    some of these may already be on web sites used have already downloaded (nothing to do with CR)

  • What settings needs to be changed in IE to allow ActiveX Printing?

    Hi, Our users are using IE7 to print report. Their preferences for Crystal reports has ActiveX printing selected. When they click on printer icon for a opened crystal report then they get a error message like
    One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either:
    1) Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page, or
    2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls
    As a result, the page may not diisplayed correctly.
    and We are not able to print. I tried adding our web site in trusted ones and allowed pop-ups but that did not work.
    We are on BOXI R2 SP3 on IIS.

    Hi ,
    I'm facing problem on Printing from Crystal viewer .
    I have launched the crystal report from an ASPX application.  For the print icon , I have added code for opening the ActiveX print window instead of usual crystal print window.
    Issue is  , print window is not opening in the client machines whereas window is opening properly in the server machine where the crystal report is installed.
    We have implemented RDC type of reporting and not the RAS .

  • Report Viewer WebPart for Sharepoint - Printing (Unable to load client print control)

    Hi there,
    I am running a report via the report viewer web part on a SharePoint page.  The report itself is working great.  But when I attempt to print it, I get a prompt to install something....and then it is followed up with "Unable to load client
    print control".
    There are some posts out there about updating the a certain CU or to find the RSClientPrint cab and unloading the dlls into the system32 folder and registering it.  I've tried that but no go.
    Anyone else encounter this issue?  If so, potential solutions?
    SP 2010 - 14.0.7221.5000
    SQL Server 2008 R2 (Reporting Server)- 10.50.1617  (have tried updating to 10.50.6000.34)
    IE = 10.0.9200
    And yes, I am running as local admin....so there shouldn't be any issue installing the active x component on IE.
    Thanks in advance,
    Eric

    Hi Eric,
    According to your description, you can't load the print button in your sharepoint site. Right?
    In Reporting Services, Each user who wants to use the print feature must download and install the ActiveX control that provides client print functionality. The first time a user clicks the
    Printer icon on the report toolbar, the Microsoft ActiveX control is downloaded to the computer. After the control is downloaded, the
    Print dialog box displays whenever the user clicks the Printer icon.
    So in this scenario, please enable the setting Download signed
    ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer and download it. Please follow the steps below:
    Click Tools -> Internet options.
    Switch to the Security tab, select the Trusted sites zone, and then click
    Sites.
    Type the URL of the SQL reporting server, click Add, and then click Close.
    Click the Custom level button, scroll to the ActiveX controls and plug-ins
    node.
    Click Enable for Download signed ActiveX controls, and then click OK.
    Then we need to have the
    EnableClientPrinting is set to true.
    In SharePoint Central Administration, click Application Management.
    Click Manage service applications.
    Click the name of your Reporting Services service application, and then click
    Manage in the SharePoint ribbon.
    Click System Settings.
    Select Enable Client Printing. The Enable Client Printing option is near the bottom of the page.
    Click OK.
    Reference:
    Enable and Disable Client-Side Printing for Reporting Services
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • SSRS 2014 Printer Control Icon missing in Internet Explorer 11

    I'm trying to determine what the latest status is with the printer control on Internet Explorer 11.
    We have a Windows 2012 Server R2 running SQL 2014 and I've installed the latest report viewer distributable (2012 server.)
    In IE 11 I still cannot see the printer control icon.
    Is there a known, reliable fix for this or can I just assume that the printer icon is a pre-IE 11 feature?
    Thank You!

    Hi Bob,
    Based on my understanding, printer button is not available when previewing the report in IE11.
    In Reporting Service, each user who wants to use the print feature must download and install the ActiveX control that provides client print functionality. As we tested in our environment, with ActiveX control installed, the printer button is available in
    IE11 (SSRS 2014 on Windows Server 2012 R2). So in your scenario, please check if you have installed Active control. If not, please enable the setting Download signed ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer, then you can install the required control. For more
    information, please refer to steps below:
    1.Click Tools -> Internet options.
    2.Switch to the Security tab, select the Trusted sites zone, and then click
    Sites.
    3.Type the URL of Report Server, click Add, and then click
    Close .
    4.Click the Custom level button, scroll to the ActiveX controls and plug-ins node.
    5.Click Enable for Download signed ActiveX controls, and then click
    OK.
    If issue persists, please check if value of EnableClientPrinting is True in SSMS. Please refer to the screenshot below:

    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Cookieless sessions cause ActiveX print error

    Greetings, all!
    I have a ASP.NET web application hosted on IIS 7.5 that delivers several reports via our CMS server and the CrystalReportViewer control (version 12.0.2000.0), and this basic structure for report delivery, export, and printing is working just fine. However, we recently had to set up one site with cookieless sessions, and this has created a problem. The reports still render and display properly within the CrystalViewerControl, but printing (in ActiveX mode) no longer works.  Any attempt to click the Print icon in the viewer toolbar results in the message "An communication error occured. Printing will be stopped." Exporting still works properly. The PrintControl.cab file is installed and works (as noted in sites not using cookieless sessions).
    An analysis of the javascript strongly suggests the source of the problem. The scripting kit used to construct and inject the Crystal javascript code in support of the viewer creates code to invoke an ActiveX control pushed down by the famous PrintControl.cab file. The URL passed as a parameter for the report to the control includes a sequence of folder-level escapes (../../..) that prefixes the site name and embedded session ID. I believe the script generator is not cognizant of the fact that the session is embedded in the URL, and thus should provide an additional escape prefixing the print control's report URL parameter. As it is, I believe the URL that is forwarded back to initiate the postback for printing is either receiving an unhandled 302 redirect that the print control cannot handle.
    If there are any other suggestions or solutions to this issue such that cookieless server sessions can be supported and continue to allow printing to work properly, I would be most appreciative.
    Many thanks,
    David

    There are two options
    1) Use proxy where you host the viewer directory as a sub-directory of the application and set the ResourceURI as u201C~CrystalReportViewers12u201D. For details see the following KBases. They are both pretty well identical and for CR XI R2, but the principle will be the same for any version of CR.
