CE 10 - Slow printing from Report Viewer in Win Server 2K3

Post Author: JacobK
CA Forum: General
I'm not very familiar with Crystal reports, we are having slowness issues when printing from the web through report viewer in Win2K3. Recently upgraded from Win 2000 to 2K3. Same crystal version, CE 10. On the 2000 system this report printed fine. Now there is a delay in bringing up the report in viewer and then an extreme delay when printing. This report prints normally when printing directly from Crystal.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

OK so I have updated VS 2010 to SP 1, and installed CR2010. Within my project I have updated the referenced .dlls
CrystalDecision.CrystalReports.Engine
CrystalDecision.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc
CrystalDecision.ReportSource
CrystalDecision.Shared
CrystalDecision.Web
I updated the web.config assembly entries to match the new version # (13.0.2000.0) and the app compiles.
However, now when I try to run a report I receieve the following error...
An error of type <System.Web.HttpException> occurred
Error Details: The 'PageToTreeRatio' property cannot be set declaratively.
I am sure I need to make some code changes but I cannot find this "PageToTreeRatio" attribute anywhere in my .asp code. Is this something you are familiar with? Is this parameter in the report itself?
As I mentioned before the reports were built in CR10 Deveoper (not in Studio) is that the source of this problem? Will I have to rebuild all the reports in VS2010?
Thank you for all the help so far, I am a lot closer than I was yesterday!!

Printing from Reports

Hi,
I have HP Laser Jet 6L printer configured in Windows 98 machine and Windows 2000 machine. I have configured the Hp 6L drivers both in the client machines and linux servers. I made proper entry in uiprint.txt given by oracle for printing in Linux OS. When I am trying to print any report output from Reports Builder invoked in Linux thro' Open motif, I am getting junk characters printed in the paper.
But the same works in a Network Jet Direct printer. Oracle ships some ppd files along with Oracle 9ias but hp6l is not there.
Can anyone tell what should be done for this and how to configure the printer in linux inorder to print from reports.

Hello, dear Udo!
In my mind, it is possible to solve your issues with Excel. How about Extract your statement to excel and do all necessary adjustments (font, etc....) in it and print it afterwards?

Is it possible to print from design view in CS3

I've got a summary print out / display page for a CF application that I'd like to be able to print out in Design view.
DW CS3 only seems to print the code page and I don't want to print from a browser as that will only show the options currently selected - I'm after having all options displayed.
Is it possible? Any suggestions other than printScreen?

No, you can't print from Design view. It seems as though screen capture is your best option,

Export and Print icons missing from report viewer

I'm currently embedding crystal within a wicket application in which I'm making use of the getHtmlContent() method to retrieve the report's HTML. For whatever reason, I'm not able to get either the export or print icons (on the top left side of the viewer). Is this because I'm using the getHtmlContent() method or do I have something misconfigured somewhere? Setting the setHasExportButton(true) and setHasPrintButton(true) on the report viewer object has no effect.
If I run the same report using the generated JSP outside of my application (within tomcat), I see the export/print buttons. I notice the JSP makes use of the processHttpRequest() method. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Louis

Hi Louis
- The getHtmlContent() method handles the user's request to generate the HTML for the report and returns the HTML as a String.
Note: Either the getHtmlContent method or the processHttpRequest method can be used to handle the user's request to generate the HTML for the report, depending on how you write your JSP. If the viewer's content is displayed more than once, then the getHtmlContent method is more efficient, because the request is processed once and the resulting HTML string can be used multiple times. In this case, you must set the content type of the HTML, as recommended in the table. Additionally, using getHtmlContent sets setOwnPage to false and disables exporting and printing.
- The setOwnPage(true) and processHttpRequest() method should be used if you want the export and print button to appear in the report viewed through Crystal Report Viewer.
Following is the snippet of code which shows you how to use these 2 methods.
//Get the IReportSource object from sesion and pass it to the viewer
     IReportSource reportSource = (IReportSource)session.getAttribute("reportSource");
Create the viewer and render the report -
     //create the CrystalReportViewer object
     CrystalReportViewer oCrystalReportViewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
     //set the reportsource property of the viewer
     oCrystalReportViewer.setReportSource(reportSource);
     //set viewer attributes
     oCrystalReportViewer.setOwnPage(true);
     oCrystalReportViewer.setOwnForm(true);
     //set the CrystalReportViewer print mode
     //oCrystalReportViewer.setPrintMode(CrPrintMode.ACTIVEX);
     oCrystalReportViewer.setPrintMode(CrPrintMode.PDF);
     //process the report
     oCrystalReportViewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), null);
Hope this helps you .
Thanks

Windows 8 and IE 10 crashed after printing from Report Manager SQL server 2008 / 2008 R2

We have a problem with Windows 8 in combination with IE 10 and printing reports.
When we print a report from the Report Manager 'http://<servername>/reports' the browser crashed after a print.
Sometimes before printing and somthimes after printing or when you close the browser.
Al other operating systems like XP, Vista, Windows 7 with different IE versions have no problem.
I tried the report manager from SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 R2.
The same error occured when printing from our Internet application and the reportviewer.
(ASP application written in Visual Studio 2010 and reportviewer version 10.)
The event log shows two different messages.

Is there a fix for this problem?

Dear Mike Yin,
Thank you for your response. Your answer was the
reason for finding the real problem.
In december 2010 a SQL Server 2008 fix was the cause. I don't remember exactly the problem, but we changed the RSCLIENTPrint-x86.cab file. But instead to use the version of SQL Server 2008 we used the version of SQL Server 2008
R2 (10.50.1600.1). This worked until
Windows 8 (Internet Explorer crashed when printing).
We fixed this problem by using the RSClientPrint-x86.cab file from SQL server 2008 (10.0.5500.0).
But we now get the known problem that the
activeX always must be installed again.
The reason for this is that the version of
the SQL Server (10.0.5512.0)
and the rsclientprint.dll (10.0.5500.0) is different. SQL Server is newer (caused
by a security patch (KB2716436)).
Do you know when this problem will be resolved
by Microsoft?
Work arrounds
I've also tried to install the RSClientprint.dll
every time automatically (without user interaction).
But this will be delayed the printing for more
than 4 seconds. This
is very annoying.
Another workaround is to generate a PDF and print the PDF. But this is also
a lot slower.
Uninstall the security patch. but I don't know the security risk.

Printing from Crystal Viewer through IE 7

I have a user that's printing some forms from a database that outputs to crystal viewer through IE 7. This error window comes up when the user tries to print the report from IE 7:
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 display correctly.
I've searched the issue and set the correct activex settings for this type of error for IE and still no dice. I've been searching tirelessly through different forums and tried various options from trying different activex controls and trying to set the virtual directory where activex needs to be activated. The environment is vista business and the browser is IE 7. I hear there compatibility issue's with vista and there's updated activex controls. I just wanted to know if there's an updated package so I can try this solution out as this is affecting a whole dept. Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks.

Ok, if you are using 11.0 and not 11.5 then check out this [platforms |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/e09198a1-911e-2b10-179f-ce8eed51aed0]pdf file. We do support Vista with the latest Service Pack but we do not support IE 7. So no work around for you. All I can suggest is either ask them to upgrade there program/runtime to CR XI R2 ( 11.5 ) or you will have to roll back to IE 6.
CR XI ( 11.0 ) is past its end of life so no new platform support will be added. Let your software owners know they can upgrade to CR XI R2 for free.
Here's the info:
Go to this link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc and download the trial version of CR XI R2 and use your XI keycode, then apply the patches which you can get to by clicking on the BusinessObjects tab above, then Downloads.
Direct link to the Trial version: http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
Do not do this yourself, they must update their runtime and application. You doing so will not work.
Thanks agian

Very slow printing from vista PC to PSC1355 on XP PC

My wife has a Vista laptop which connects wirelessly to my home network.
There is a PSC 1355 connected to my PC which runs XP.
The printer is shared and can be seen from the vista machine but when trying to print from the vista machine it is extremely slow in printing and viewing the printer`s settings. Also if the shared printer is setup as the default printer then the vista machine is very slow opening any MS office document.
I`ve searched all over the place for quite a while to try to resolve this problem to no avail. The printer can`t be setup on the vista machine because of it`s location.
Any ideas?

Get feedback from report viewer

We want to get the feedback from java crystal report viewer whether report is printed or not.Simply want to know print button is pressed by the user of print dialog.
Earlier we got feedback from VB6 viewer from bellow code,
CrystalReport.PrintingStatus.Progress
Do we have a method to get this from java viewer.It is a very important feature for us,
Thanks.

Recently i found the method printInteractively (..) in ReportPagePrinter class in CrystalReportsRuntime.jar package does not return any thing.
public void printInteractively(ReportDocument paramReportDocument, String paramString, PrintObserver paramPrintObserver)
    throws PrinterException
    jdMethod_int(paramReportDocument, paramString, paramPrintObserver);
    int[] arrayOfInt1 = new int[1];
    int[] arrayOfInt2 = new int[1];
    ReportPage localReportPage = jdMethod_int(1, arrayOfInt1, arrayOfInt2);
    if (localReportPage == null)
      return;
    this.D = jdMethod_try(localReportPage);
    if (!jdMethod_int(this.v.defaultPage().getPaper(), this.D))
      PageFormat localPageFormat1 = jdMethod_byte(localReportPage);
      PageFormat localPageFormat2 = this.v.pageDialog(localPageFormat1);
      if (localPageFormat2 == localPageFormat1)
        return;
      this.D = localPageFormat2.getPaper();
    if (!this.v.printDialog())
      return;
    this.v.print();
Why this important feature does not have in java package.Any future release do you expecting to add that ?

Why is printing report different from report builder and app server

I created a report and when ran from report builder it looks fine.
And when i moved the report to server and ran the report in the browser using this url
http://192.1.1.8:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=esp/esp_dev1@wdev&report=FMMA_VOUCHER.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
and print it the report shrinks, the fonts become small and the margins change. I am having hard time how to figure out a way to correlate the formatting in the report builder and when i run on the server using pdf format.
Is there any way to set the server so that the pdf output matches with the report builder.
Thanks.

How to fix extremely slow printing from web pages with latest updates (iMac) & HP Office jet printer. (It was not a problem with earlier versions of Firefox & same computer & printer.)

The latest two updates of Mozilla Firefox are not useful for me because of extremely slow printing of web pages. It was never a problem before. Same iMac and HP officejet printer. How can I either fix it, or revert to an earlier version of the browser (without losing all my bookmarks) which didn't cause this problem?

Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

Slow printing from Mac to HP Business Inkjet 2800dtn

Hi,
We have an iMac running
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Indesign 5.0 CS4
Acrobat Pro 9.0.0
HP Business Inkjet 2800 driver PS v3010.107, with 76Mb Memory
It's taking forever to print documents that are a few Mb in size.
The documents are created with Indesign.
I've tried outputting to pdf and it's still no better.
One pdf is 3.5Mb and just gets stuck at 5%. The printer shows "processing job" until it fails after 30 mins.
I've tried printing the pdf from a Windows XP pc using the HP postscript driver and it's the same. The spool file shows as being 18Mb on the PC.
Printing using Windows PCL driver, the speed is OK but the quality is poor. The only way to get these to print is by using the Windows to print to PS with the print to Image option selected.
I've looked at the Mac spool folder and it looks like 6Mb when it goes to print.
It prints OK to an A4 HP CP3505N colour laser.
I've got a call out with HP but they seem stumped at the moment.
Any advice would be great.
Many thanks

Hi,
if you will follow my correction, that not the printing itself is slow but the time for transferring the data to the printer, so I can serve with a solution.
Look attached file or to the following (english) thread. There is a new modified driver for the 2800, supporting 2 tray, duplex and sizes to A3.
http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/other-hardware-peripherals/119579-g5-very-slow-printing-h p-2800-a.html#post923300.
The german readme is included in the ZIP. The file should work on german and english systems.

Slow printing from windows 2008 R2 with Cisco 6509

Dear All,
I am having a wiered issue in my network. We have a windows 2008 R2 print server. Normal documents print's fine. If you print a image or pdf file, it takes a long time to print. For example a 2 MB PDF image with two page took me 10 minutes to print. The data from the server to the physical printer is really slow. To test it, i have loaded the driver on another windows 2008 R2 and the result is same slowness. We uses Xerox Colorqube 9303 printers.
I have tried most options from microsoft which didnt help. I have installed a windows 2012 server to test if its specific to windows 2008, but the result remains same. Printing from a windows PC is perfectly fine; 32 bit PCs we have.
I have seen someone got a solution to this by disabling ip local-proxy-arp, this is not enabled nor available in my switch.
I have 6509 as core switch with IOS 12.2(33)SXH8. Does anybody come across such a scenario? Is there any special port configuration required for windows 2008 R2 to work normal?

Hello
Printing from a windows PC is perfectly fine; 32 bit PCs we have.
- Printing directly from a computer which has the locally installed driver is printing fine.- it does seem to suggest the server or the network- however locally installed print drivers work fine so the communication to the printer from the client over the network seem to be okay.
However the centrally installed print drivers means the processing job is now with the server which is between the printer and client
Whats the RTT from client and server and client to printer .etc? - perform a extended ping to validate connectivity between all 3
Have you hardcoded the server port to the nic setting of the server - Are the speed/duplex settings manually applied to the servers if so make sure they are also manually set on the switch ports realting to these servers - this is apllicable to the printers too.
Is the same driver used locally is also on the printer server correct?
Whats printing protocol ( RAW) and port being used on the printer server
Do you have print pooling setup on the server -(typo in last post)
Are these printer shared in A/D and deployed by GPO -are the correct permissions set on these shares
Check the printer permission on the spool folder also - users need at least read & execute privileges
Have you manually cleared the print spooler folder and restarted the spooler service on the server?
Are the print jobs being render to the clients or is the server taking the load of processing the print job?
Any printer queue priorites set?

Very slow printing from Konica connected via Airport Express

Hello folks,
I have a very strange problem with erratic printing to a network printer, connected to an Airport Express via ethernet.
The Network:
- Draytek modem/router hosting DHCP
- Time Capsule connected to Draytek. It's in bridge mode, and runs the WiFi network
- Airport Express 1 in "Join a Network" mode, ethernet clients allowed
- Konica Minolta Magicolor laserjet printer connected via ethernet to AX1
- Airport Express 2 in "Extend a Network" mode elsewhere in the office
All client devices on the network are getting IP addresses in the correct range etc. I have fixed the IP of most devices at the router level, so they don't change.
Client Macs print directly to the printer using IPP (or might be LPD, I can check if relevant) using apparently a correct driver and IP address.
WiFi network is very strong throughout, and the distance between Time Capsule and AX1 is just a few feet.
Here's the problem:
At the start of the day, the printer works just fine. Fast.
Then, inexplicably, you send a document to it and the print queue reports "Spooling....xx%" which increases painfully slowly compared to when it's working normally.
This happens randomly with both small and large files. A modest photo can take over an hour to fully spool and print when it's doing this.
Turning the printer off and on again tends to make it work properly, until the above happens again.
This is driving me mad. Is there a problem with:
(a) The WiFi network or airport hardware
(b) The printer
(c) The drivers
(d) The printing protocol
(e) Me
(f) All of the above
Any insight would be most welcome. The Konica tech reckons it's working, but I think he didn't spend long enough sending print jobs to it for the problem to manifest.
P.S.
One of my main questions is, when the print queue says "spooling", is this the process of progressively sending the file over the network? Or does spooling occur when the data is either already fully arrived at the printer, or hasn't left the Mac yet?
Could the printer's unwillingness to accept data cause the slow spooling? Why might this happen?

It should work. Enable Printer Sharing via System Preferences -> Sharing. The Mac does need to be turned on.
P.S. Try to just post one thread on your question instead of crossposting over several forums.
