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,
Babu

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 ?

Report 6i/Webdb -Not able to display the report in the browser - rep- 3002 error.

Would someone tell what I missed, I have set up the following:
1) a report using report builder on NT
2) my database is in Unix
3) my report server is started in NT
4) I run webdb listener for the following code: http://myweb.com/cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=repserver+report=myreport+userid=usid/pw/connect_string+destype=cache+desformat=html. Then, I receive this message:
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job has terminated with error.
Reports Server Replies:
REP-3002: Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed.
Why is it thinking I want to use the printer whereas I want to display the report in the browser?. Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like that your Web CGI did not configure right. To test if your CGI configuration is correct, type:
http://hostname:port/cgi-bin/rwcgi60exe?
If you get a help screen, then you should be able to bring up your report.

REP-3002: Error initializing printer

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;
pl :=create_parameter_list('Elsa');
add_parameter(pl,'DESTYPE', text_parameter,'PRINTER');
run_product(REPORTS,'C:\ORANT\REPORT60\myrep.rep',1,BATCH,FILESYSTEM,pl);
destroy_parameter_list(pl);
END;
'myrep.rep' is a simple report, consisting of:
select user from dual;
generated by the wizard.
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
http://pent2.easyware.be/dev60cgi/ifcgi60.exe?
form=myform.fmx&userid=&otherparams=useSDI=yes&
lookAndFeel=generic&colorScheme=teal
then the error returned in the webbrowser is
'REP-3002: Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed.'
if parameter 'DESTYPE' is set to 'SCREEN' then it works very well, I can print by clicking the print icon.
Please can someone help me.
Best Regards,
Carl Willems.

Thanks,

REP-3002 error initialising printer on Unix

Hello
Has anybody got REP-3002 on Unix. I am running my character based report to generate text based output on Solaris. No matter what I do - configure the ui[rint.txt file - Set up default printer for the account running Oracle reports. I still keep getting this error.
I have successfully done this on NT but it doesnt work on Unix.
Any suggestions specific for Unix?
Amit

Amit,
A couple of things to check:
-Make sure the printer specified in the uiprint.txt file is enabled at the operating system level. A quick way to test
this is to try to print any file from the command line to this printer using lp. If you can print using lp and get the
output on the printer, then the printer is enabled at the OS level.
-Oracle Reports must be able to open and read the uiprint.txt file
-The user running the report must have operating system level read permissions on the uiprint.txt file.
- Unix operating systems have an open file limit. It may be possible that Oracle Reports cannot open the
uiprint.txt file because of the open file limit.

REP: 3002 & 19200 - Character base report on n-tier application.

Dear friends
We are using ORACLE 8i as database server, IIS as Web server,
Front-end
is -Forms 6i and Reports 6i. We have developed Reports both in
character
and Bitmap as per client's requirement. Bitmap reports are
working fine
in 2- tier as well as in 3- tier application.
Character base reports are working fine in 2-tier application
but in
3-tier it shows “ REP: 3002: ERROR INITIALIZING PRINTER. PLEASE
MAKE
SURE PRINTER IS INSTALLED” We have tried and communicated with
local
ORACLE for quite some time, but the solution is not found till
date. (We
have tried with DESFOMAT and other parameters)
Is there any other way so that we can generate the output in
character
mode from 3-tier (without converting to bitmap) as this is a
specific
requirement of our client. (As within the premises they are
using 2-tier
and from remote place they will be using 3-tier application
through
web.)
Could any one please help us in this matter? Pl. consider this
as a
urgent.
Thanks in advance.

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.
