Can't print the report directly on the printer?

Dear All,
My client encounter a problem of printing a report directly to the printer. He is using developer 6i with OAS. His application is going to deploy on the web. He wants the report printed out directly on the "HP Laser Jet Printer" after the user has made the selection and clicked the "Print" button from the forms 6i. However, he got the error saying that
"Oracle Report Server OWS Cartridge - Report Job has terminated with error
Report Server Replies:
Rep-0713: invalid printer name 'HP4050' specified by parameters DESNAME."
And here is the parameter string passing into the report server:
http://epmsdevs2.eway:9002/rwows/rwows60?report=epms1271.rdf+userid=epmsdev/epmsdev@dev+desformat=landscape+destype=printer+desname=HP4050+server=RepServer
Is there anyone can show me some light on it?!
Any help and idea is appreciated in advance!!!

Hi!
If reports are run in web env. then
you can print reports directly on
printer defined on m/c where report server
is running, not on client m/c. If you want
to print on client m/c then define that
printer on report sever m/c and make sure
report server can access that printer.

1. Check documentation for DESNAME and DESTYPE
2. See 1 as long as they are a shared resource
3. Think you must know the name, but please check or documentation

How to send a report DIRECTLY to the printer (Linux App. Svr.)?

Here is the problem:
-- We have Windows clients / Linux App Server / Forms 10g R2.
-- Printers are attached to the Windows clients.
-- When we want to send DIRECTLY to the printer, we have to write data into a text file (using TEXT_IO) &
-- print the same using command HOST('lp -d '||<printer IP of logged in user>t||' '||<file name>,NO_SCREEN).
-- Our normal reports are displayed as PDFs.
Is there a way to directly send the PDF to the printer without having to re-write the report to a text file?? Then we can just use the PDF output and don't have to do any code changes (i.e. redo every report).

Use destype=printer.
The printer on the Windows client has to be defined as a network printer and be known on the Linux server.
Other options:
- use the orarrp utility
- if you call your Reports from Forms, you can use a Java bean
http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-6621538.html
Thank you for the quick response. Can u please tell us how to make the printer "known" as a Linux server?? Will a normal network admin know how to do this or is it an Oracle developer's task?

How to print the report directly without previewing (report viewer) using c# windows application

Hi,
Currently, we are using crystal report to all of our reporting applications, but since I/users have encountered some issues about CR's speed to load only a simple report, maybe it is now time for us to adopt a new reporting environment in which I think SSRS
can fill this problem.
To start with, I have here a sample code, that uses the crystal report to print the report directly without previewing:
csCashInvoiceCal csCashCal; --Crystal report name .rpt
dsCsReceipt dsCs; --created dataset
DataTable u;
DataRow s;
private System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument printDocument1;
private System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog printDialog1;
ParameterValues paramValue;
ParameterDiscreteValue discreteValue;
ParameterFieldDefinition fieldDefinition;
private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
loadReceipt2();
print2();
csCashCal.Close();
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
private void loadReceipt2()
dsCs = new dsCsReceipt(); --created dataset
u = dsCs.Tables.Add("DtCsReceipt");
u.Columns.Add("Qty", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("UOM", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Description", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("UnitPrice", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Discount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Amount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
try
for (int i = 0; i < dgvDesc.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
s = u.NewRow(); double.TryParse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Discount2.Name].Value.ToString(), out discount);
s["Qty"] = double.Parse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Qty.Name].Value.ToString());
s["UOM"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Uom2.Name].Value.ToString();
s["Description"] = invcode + dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Description.Name].Value.ToString();
s["UnitPrice"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[UnitPrice.Name].Value.ToString();
if (discount != 0)
s["Discount"] = "(" + string.Format("{0:0.##}", discount) + "%)";
else
s["Discount"] = "";
s["Amount"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Amount2.Name].Value.ToString();
u.Rows.Add(s);
catch (Exception) { }
csCashCal = new csCashInvoiceCal();
csCashCal.SetDataSource(dsCs.Tables[1]);
//csCashCal.Refresh();
loadParameter2();
private void loadParameter2()
ParameterFieldDefinitions paramFieldDefinitions;
paramValue = new ParameterValues();
discreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue();
paramFieldDefinitions = csCashCal.DataDefinition.ParameterFields;
discreteValue.Value = date;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["Date"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtcsno.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["InvoiceNo"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtNameTo.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["CustomerName"];
commonParam();
discreteValue.Value = txtAdd.Text;
fieldDefinition = paramFieldDefinitions["CustomerAddress"];
commonParam();
------other parameters----
private void commonParam()
paramValue.Clear();
paramValue.Add(discreteValue);
fieldDefinition.ApplyCurrentValues(paramValue);
private void print2()
using (printDocument1 = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument())
using (this.printDialog1 = new PrintDialog())
//this.printDialog1.UseEXDialog = true;
this.printDialog1.Document = this.printDocument1;
DialogResult dr = this.printDialog1.ShowDialog();
if (dr == DialogResult.OK)
int nCopy = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.Copies;
int sPage = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.FromPage;
int ePage = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.ToPage;
string PrinterName = this.printDocument1.PrinterSettings.PrinterName;
try
csCashCal.PrintOptions.PrinterName = PrinterName;
csCashCal.PrintToPrinter(nCopy, false, sPage, ePage);
printcount++;
//saveCountPrint();
catch (Exception err)
MessageBox.Show(err.ToString());
This is only a simple sales receipt application that uses dgv and textboxes to push its data to dataset to the crystal report, a simple one but there are instances that it is very slow.
But I'm having trouble implementing this using SSRS, since I'm only new to this one, wherein I created the report using report wizard, with two button options inside the form for print preview or direct print selection. Actually, it is very easy to implement
with print preview because it uses reportviewer. My problem is that how can I print the report directly without using a reportviewer?
So here is my code so far which I don't know what's next:
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
loadReceipt3();
//print3();
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
ReportParameter[] parameter = new ReportParameter[11];
private void loadParameter3()
parameter[0] = new ReportParameter("InvoiceNo", txtcsno.Text);
parameter[1] = new ReportParameter("Date", date);
parameter[2] = new ReportParameter("CustomerTin", txtTin.Text);
parameter[3] = new ReportParameter("CustomerName", txtNameTo.Text);
parameter[4] = new ReportParameter("CustomerAddress", txtAdd.Text);
parameter[5] = new ReportParameter("Agent", agent);
parameter[6] = new ReportParameter("Discount", "Discount: ");
parameter[7] = new ReportParameter("TotalDiscount", lblDiscount.Text + "%");
parameter[8] = new ReportParameter("TotalSales", rdtotal);
parameter[9] = new ReportParameter("Tax", rdtax);
parameter[10] = new ReportParameter("TotalAmount", rdnet);
private void loadReceipt3()
DataSet dsrs = new DataSet();
DataTable dtrs = new DataTable();
DataRow drs;
dtrs.Columns.Add("Qty", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("UOM", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Description", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("UnitPrice", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Discount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Amount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
try
for (int i = 0; i < dgvDesc.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
drs = dtrs.NewRow();
drs["Qty"] = double.Parse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Qty.Name].Value.ToString());
drs["UOM"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Uom2.Name].Value.ToString();
drs["Description"] = invcode + dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Description.Name].Value.ToString();
drs["UnitPrice"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[UnitPrice.Name].Value.ToString();
if (discount != 0)
drs["Discount"] = "(" + string.Format("{0:0.##}", discount) + "%)";
else
drs["Discount"] = "";
drs["Amount"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Amount2.Name].Value.ToString();
dtrs.Rows.Add(s);
catch (Exception) { }
int addtlRow = 7;
if (addtlRow > (count - 1))
addtlRow = addtlRow - (count - 1);
for (int i = 0; i < addtlRow; i++)
dtrs.Rows.Add();
loadParameter3();
LocalReport localreport = new LocalReport();
localreport.SetParameters(parameter);
localreport.DataSources.Clear();
localreport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("dsSalesReceiptSsrs", dtrs));
localreport.Refresh();
//what's next....
So what's next after local..refresh()? Actually, I have googled a lot but I didn't found the exact solution that I'm looking for which confuses me a lot.
Anyway I'm using VS 2010 with sql server 2012 express.
You're help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Hardz

When send the report directly to the printer from Oracle IDS 9i

Hi.....
I m using Oracle IDS 9i, Oracle AS 9i and Database 9i for my new project.But i m facing a problem when i m trying to show a report from oracle IDS 9i.When i send the report directly to the printer without showing it,then the printer connected to the application server is working.But the printer connected to with PC(From where a send the command) is not working but printer connected with AS is working,but not that one which one i m wanting.....Why this problem is happening?Can anyone help me?
KSI

Note:It is always better to have network based printers rather then PC shared printers. What that means is your printer is not connected to a PC. It has a direct connection to the network via NIC. You would then setup the printer on your AS in the printers setup. If the AS is rebooted you do not need to authenticate the printer shares again with a network based printer.
If I understand you correctly, you have a printer connected to your AS(application server) and a printer connected to your PC. You can submit a report direct to the printer connected to the AS but cannot send a report direct to your printer connected to your PC.
From the symptoms you described, the problem is usually associated with the AS not being able to see the printer shared on your PC. You either have the address to your printer address defined wrong or your AS is trying to direct a job to your printer but doesn't have rights to do it.
First, Try to print a notepad job to your printer attached to your PC from the AS. This will tell you if you have access to do so or not.
- If it can't, you need to figure out why? This has nothing to do with oracle.
Second, thing to check is your Oracle "Report Queue Manager" on the AS. Make sure that you can submit a report manually from the Report Queue Manager. If it fails the "Report Queue Manager" will give you useful errors as to why it failed. This will help you isolate the problem.
Third, Once you can submit a job from the reports queue manager manually to your shared printer you should be able to submit from your application direct. If it still does not work your address to the printer is incorrect. Try submitting manually through the reports queue manager again. When selecting printer you will be given a list of accessible printers from the AS. Select the one connected to your PC. Once selected the full network address will appear. Copy and use this as the printer location in your job submission through your application.
That's it... Where using this right now and it works great. Hope this helps.

Printing a report directly to an printer via the printer's IP Address.

I am looking for how to print a report (either text or pdf) from a PL/SQL procedure, directly to a known IP Address of a printer.
We have a report that is generated through forms as a pdf. The user can then obviously read it and print it to a printer from their machine.
We are trying to implement a Stored procedure that will print that report directly to a know printer's IP Address.
How can this be done?

Check out the orarrp utility (Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility) on Metalink, note 277431.1.
It may be easier in the end to set up printers on the OAS. I guess that client PC's are using network printers, or are the really using printers connected directly to the PC?

Send 10g reports directly to the default printer of the client machine

Hello..
We are using Oracle DS10g and Forms & Reports service 10g. When the user clicks on the report button I want to send the report directly to the default printer installed in the client machine. In this case the printer name may vary and I cannot parameterize the DESNAME parameter. How do i know what is the default printer? Any clue as to how can achieve the desired result?
Thanks

If you use webutil in your shop. You can use the CLient_win_api_environment.read_registry to get the default printer. In the run_report_object, desname gets set to the default printer.
This can also be found in metalink.
               V_PRINTER := CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.READ_REGISTRY('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows','Device',TRUE);
               V_PRINTER_LENGTH := LENGTH(V_PRINTER);
               V_PRINTER_BLANK :=     INSTR(V_PRINTER, ',');
               IF V_PRINTER_LENGTH > 0 AND V_PRINTER_BLANK = 0 THEN
                    :P_OUTPUT_FILE := V_PRINTER;
               ELSIF V_PRINTER_LENGTH > V_PRINTER_BLANK THEN
               :P_OUTPUT_FILE := SUBSTR(V_PRINTER, 0 , (INSTR(V_PRINTER, ',')-1 ));
               END IF;

Report directly to the printer

i'm trying to run a report directly to the printer. Report is running but scaling is not happening. Following is the URL which i'm using to run the report. This will run not an issue if i try to increase or decrease the scaling, (start-->controlpanel-->printer-->printing preference-->advanced tab-->scaling)
this will not work.

I can't print directly on a specific tray (forcing the manual tray)

Hi all
I would like to print a report directly on the printer. The printer is installed on the server and is configured with the manual tray (tray 1).
It's OK via a page test since the driver (ie. general's tag).
It's not OK since a forms via :
- rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product
or
- run_report_object.
Exemple with rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product :
PROCEDURE O$Run_Report ( P_MODULE_NAME varchar2, P_IMP_TOUT in varchar2 ) IS
Param_Id ParamList;
Begin
Param_Id := Get_Parameter_List('Param_Id');
Add_Parameter(Param_Id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
Add_Parameter(Param_Id,'P_IS_OFFRE',TEXT_PARAMETER,to_char(:bp_offre.is_offre));
Add_Parameter(Param_Id,'P_IMP_TOUT',TEXT_PARAMETER,P_IMP_TOUT);
rp2rro.setDesformat('pdf');
rp2rro.SetDesName('AKOFFRE');
rp2rro.SetDestype('printer');
rp2rro.setReportsServer(:Global.report_serveur);
rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product(REPORTS,P_MODULE_NAME,SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,Param_Id, NULL);
End;
The page is correctly and directly printing on the printer AKOFFRE, but it's the default's tray which is using.
Help me please !

Hi evelia,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The first thing I would suggest is to shut down your computer and turn off your printer. Then do the reverse -- turn the printer on first, then your computer. If the issue still persists:
Check to make sure there are no jobs waiting to be printed. (Apple Menu > System Preferences > Printers & Scanners)
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
If all else fails, reset the printing system and install the printer again:

Can I print 2 different reports for the same execution?

Hello all,
I currently have a test sequence that branches off into several subsequences, which branch off, etc. Currently, I have the report options filter out to only report 'pass' or 'fail' results. Even with this, my report is 90-100 pages. This is a good, very detailed report.
However(you knew there would be a 'however'), some people want a condensed version of this report, where it only lists whether the sequence itself failed, and not the individual steps within.
My question is, can I run my test and have both the detailed and compact reports run for that execution? Either that, or simply list if each sequence passes, and if it fails, then display the individual steps?
Either way would work for
me.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
As far as I know, TestStand does not include a built in feature to do what your are looking for. However this doesn't mean you can not do what your are looking for.
Like Zvezdana mentioned, you can either use the dll or sequence files to generate reports and you have to modify either of them to achieve what you want.
The dll generates de report faster that the sequences, however, the sequences are easier to modify. You can select the option you want from the Report Options.
If you select to use the sequences, there are two sequence files that would be called depending on the format you choose for your report. reportgen_txt.seq or reportgen_html.seq
They are located under ...\testStand\components\ni\models\testStand models\ Coy this to the
user directory (same path as above but user instead of ni) and make the changes that you need.
For your second option (only printing the details when a step fails) you can start with AddSequenceResultToReport sequence. This sequence has the code that inserts the begin and end sequence markers. You can getrid of them and this will make your report smaller. You can replace that with code that includes if your sequence passed or failed. Look under parameters for the result property. In this sequence there is a call to a subsequence that adds all the results of all the steps within the sequence. You can add a precondition to this step to execute only if the sequence failed.
There are many more things that you could do, but I hope this helps you get started. If you have specific questions once you start doing this, let me know.
I hope this helps,
Marcela.
