InfoView not defaulting print settings from Crystal Reports XI

I have a form/report created from Crystal Reports XI published to InfoView that has the print settings set for the manual tray when printed. When running the report in InfoView, it does not default to the manual tray when printing. I am publishing directly from Crystal Reports. I have the Process/Print Setup 'Set layout to: Report file default' and the Schedule/Format 'Use options saved with report' checkbox checked. I am not finding any other settings to tell InfoView to use the report page layout/printer settings. Anyone know of any other options I should check? Thanks!

That would be the correct forum as this one is for SDK issues only.
If you are not getting helped on the other BO forum you may want to consider creating a case if you have a valid support contract.

Push default printer settings from server - setprinter.exe ?

Hi,
I need to push out some new default printer settings (mono and duplex) for 300 printers across about 12 x 2003/2008 print servers. All of these devices are already mapped by around 2500 WinXP/7 users, so reconnecting the devices for everybody is not
an option, nor is redeploying via GPO. I've read the following thread, which appears to explain what I need to do:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverprint/thread/a0a9bb3f-db24-417d-9905-c310d068d3c6/
Firstly, I need the latest version of setprinter.exe, as the one I've got is date stamped April 2003, which I assume is the one that fails to work with devmode 9. Does anybody know where I can get this from?
Secondly, I think it says that the clients will periodically update themselves with the server's default settings. This is perfect, if correct. However, would anybody please be able to explain when these periodic updates take place?
Many thanks in advance !
Andy

Hi,
There is a tool named "setprinter.exe" tool in the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit.
Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit can be downloaded from the link below:

You may find ll the entire RESOURCE KIT on CD attached with the book.
Windows Server 2008 R2
==================
No resource kit Tools & Support tools are available for 2008R2...everything is on the OS already
Secondly, I think it says that the clients will periodically update themselves with the server's default settings.

Can't Print Landscape from Crystal Reports Viewer XI

Post Author: conrad
CA Forum: General
Product: Crystal Reports Viewer XI, version 12.0.0.r130_v20070725 and
Crystal Reports XI, version 11.0.0.1282
Patches Applied: none
Operating System(s): XP Pro SP2
Database(s):
Error Messages: noneSteps to Reproduce:
Download and install Crystal Reports Viewer XI
Open a Crystal Report that prints landscape.
Save report with data.
Open that report with Crystal Reports Viewer XI. Report will display landscape.
Click Print..OK
Viewer will attempt to scale output to fit on portrait paper, with varying degrees of success.
Checking the properties of the report from Viewer (File...Report Properties...) shows a "Page Orientation" of "Landscape" and a message "Page Orientation and size defined by the application (no page information set by report author)."
Any ideas on how to get the report to print landscape? It prints that way from Crystal Reports XI.

Hello Glenda,
as you refer to the legacy technology I recommend to post this query to the [Legacy Application Development SDKs|SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to legacy SDKs, including the Report Designer Component (RDC), OCX, VCL, and Crystal Reports Print Engine (CRPE).
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all Legacy Application Development SDKs queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Thanks a lot,

Remove Printer Name from Crystal Report

How can i remove the printer name from the Crystal Report so that the PrinterName property of the CRAXDRT.Report object in the RDC SDK is blank WITHOUT having the "No Printer" Option checkbox checked?
Here's the scenerio. When I first create a Report and don't go into Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. If I go into Page Setup and explicitly select a printer, PrinterName property equals the name of the printer selected. If I check the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. But if i go back in and uncheck the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, the PrinterName property equals the name of my Windows Default Printer.

I'm still not sure what is unclear about my first question. And I'm not sure how any of the info you are requesting is going to make any difference in answering my question. And I'm not sure how your analogy fits here but ..
Version of CR = 11.0.0.895
CR Service Packs applied = None
Web or Win app? = Win App
OS? = Windows XP Service Pack 3
Development language? = Both Visual Basic 6 and C#.Net 2008
Method of CR files deployment = email the .RPT file to a client
Where were the runtime files downloaded from? = Runtimes are installed from Merge Modules donwload from SAP site
What is the version of the craxdrt.dll on the deployed box? = 11.0.0.893
So here are the exact steps so you can understand what is going on:
I have the Crystal Reports Application open side-by-side with my Visual Basic development environment in debug mode so i can step through the code using the RDC SDK.
1. I open the Crystal Reports Application and create a brand new report - "Test.RPT" and DO NOT go into Page Setup at all and save the report.
2. In my Visual Basic development environment, i run the code that will generate the report, Here's the exact code
    Dim m_crApp As CRAXDRT.Application
    Dim m_crReport As CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
    Set m_crReport = New CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crReport = m_crApp.OpenReport("Test.RPT")
3. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
4. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and check the "No Printer" option.
5. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
6. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is still blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
7. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and uncheck the "No Printer" option. I have NOT specified any printer, nor have i clicked the "Printer..." button to setup a printer....i have just unchecked the "No Printer" option
8. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
9. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is now set to my WINDOWS DEFAULT PRINTER, yet i had not specified any printer.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to "
MyNetwork\MyPrinter"
PROBLEMS:
1. The client needs the report to go to the default windows printer of their machine
2. If the "No Printer" Option is checked, the Report does not print at all
3. If the report is set to MY default windows printer and i give it to the client, at times it takes upwards of to a minute for the Print Dialog to disply. As i've read on other forum posts, it appears Crystal is looking for MY printer on the clients machine and takes a minute before i realizes it can't find it and then sets it to the CLIENTS default windows printer.
4. The client believes it is unreasonable to wait a minute for the print dialog to appear ...and i agree.
5. I cannot change the code to use the Select Printer in the RDC SDK - it's a long explanation why but just suffice it to say that i cannot do this.
All i want to do is either:
1. Remove the Printer Name in the actual report from the Crystal Reports designer - basically undoing what Crystal did when i went into Page Setup.
2. Via the RDC SDK, be able to detect the "No Printer" option is selected. Checkign CRAXDRT.PrinterName equal to "" is not an option.

Dissociate default printer driver from the report viewer

Hello,
I have a problem in reports visualization. I set the report paper size via the code:
_printOptions.PaperSize = CrPaperSizeEnum.crPaperSizePaperCsheet;
The problem is when i visualize it it's truncated to the printer default paper size. How could i resolve this. I tried the DissociatePrinter option and it didn't help.
I'm working with .NET RAS SDK and C#.

What version of CR?
What version of .NET?
WEB or Win app?
See KB 1386475 and 1490938 (use the search box in the top right corner)
Also note that the paper size enum may be (most likely will be) different for each printer driver. Thus retrieving the paper size enum and setting that to printOptions.PaperSize may be something worth trying.
Searching for 'printoutputcontroler' may also get you additional resources.

Officejet 7310 "steals" my default printer settings

My Officejet 7310 "steals" my default printer settings from two other printers I use. I wish there was a way to have HP respond to me about this but no luck so far. I have installed a little program suggested at another forum - "set default printer" but it doesn't help. When I fax from the 7310, for instance, I get my unpleasant surprise the next time I print .
Any suggestions for a cure, or for getting HP's attention, or both?

Excel 2010 not using the default print settings

Currently got an issue with Excel 2010 not using the default print settings for a couple of users on our network,
basically when pressing cntrl P or selecting the print option from the file menu the printer settings are different to the print settings selected in the devices and printers menu, we have checked the print drivers etc but this has still not resolved the
issue, all other office programs are fine and also other users are reporting this issue more and more with different printers,
tried restarting print spooler service and re-installing office but this has come to no avail,
any ideas would be much appreciated!

Hi,
This issue occurs because the Page Setup settings that you specify in your file override the settings that you specify in the printer driver properties.
To work around this issue, do not specify the paper size, page orientation, or page margins in the printer driver properties. Instead, specify these settings in your workbook.
To specify these settings, follow these steps:
1.Start Excel, and then open the workbook you want to change.
2.In Microsoft Office Excel 2010, click the sheet that you want to print, and then click the Page Layout tab. In the Page Setup group, click Page Setup to open the Page Setup dialog box.
3.Click the Page tab.
4.Under Paper size, click the paper size that you want.
5. Click Options button and in Printing Shortcuts tab, in the Paper source area, perform one of the following steps: ◦If the printer can automatically select the correct paper tray to use, click Default tray in the First page list, and then click Default
tray in the Other pages list.
Default tray is the default setting in both of these lists.
◦If the printer cannot automatically select the correct paper tray to use, you may have to select the paper tray that contains the paper size that you selected in step 4.
To do this, click the appropriate paper tray in the First page list and in the Other pages list.
6.If you want to change the page orientation or its page margins, click the Finishing tab.
7.Select the options that you want.
8.Click OK.
9.Repeat steps 2 to 8 for each sheet of your workbook for which you want to specify settings.

How to print directly to Printer from Crystal Report Viewer ?

Hi All,
We are integrating our Java Web Application with Crystal report XI, currently using JRC and export to PDF for user to preview and print to local printer.
Now there is new requirement :
Some clients is using thin client terminal (no harddisk, only has OS +Browser in ROM), so I cannot install Acrobat Reader for them to preview&print the report.
So I am looking at Crystal Report Viewer, the question is : Can I print from Crystal Report Viewer directly to local printer without first converting it to PDF (because I can't have acrobat reader installed) ??
Thank you very much,
Krist
Indonesia

Hi,
It can't be achieved through XI.
JRCXI R2 SDK offers the ability to print the report server side
using the PrintOutputController using printReport(PrintReportOptions printReportOptions) method.
Here is the code(for XIR2):
import="com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.*"
import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.*"
import="com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.document.*"
try {
final String REPORT_NAME = "Inventory.rpt";
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(REPORT_NAME, 0);
//Create and set print options.
PrintReportOptions printOptions = new PrintReportOptions();
//Note: Printer with the 'printer name' below must already be configured.
printOptions.setPrinterName("
10.10.45.220
BOBJ 2C");
printOptions.setJobTitle("Sample Print Job from JRC.");
printOptions.setPrinterDuplex(PrinterDuplex.horizontal);
printOptions.setPaperSource(PaperSource.auto);
printOptions.setPaperSize(PaperSize.paperLetter);
printOptions.setNumberOfCopies(1);
printOptions.setCollated(false);
PrintReportOptions.PageRange printPageRange = new PrintReportOptions.PageRange(1,1);
printOptions.addPrinterPageRange(printPageRange);
//NOTE: If parameters or database login credentials are required, they need to be set before.
//calling the printReport() method of the PrintOutputController.
reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().printReport(printOptions);
reportClientDoc.close();
out.println("Successfully sent report to the printer.");
catch(ReportSDKException ex) {
out.println(ex);
Please revert in case you have any query.
Thanks,

CR2008 Not enough memory while exporting reports from Crystal Reports 2008

Can someone help me resolve the issue.

The .rpt file size is 14MB with the Data Save option enabled, 12MB without Data Save. Presumably the 12MB file size is because of the 24bit PNG we have as our background.
The Designer executes the report in less than a second and we can scroll through all pages and see the image fields perfectly.
When we Export to PDF, the Designer takes a long time, eventually gets to the 77%, the 7th record and returns "Export report failed" followed by "Memory full". If we export only page 1 of the 3 pages, it also returns a Memory full error. However, when the same report is run with only 1 page, that page exports to PDF but with a ridiculously large size and export time.
The machine has 2GB of physical memory with an 8GB pagefile with Windows 2003 (latest everything). The process runs up to about 1GB before reporting the memory full error.
We've also tried a variety of other suggestions posted in the other thread with no success.
We're happy to provide the RPT file to the Report Team to diagnose the problem. Ultimately, we need to be able to produce a 15 page report with approximately 45 images.
Our preferred scenario is fixing problem 2. The CR Designer seems quite capable of rendering our report and printing it to our third party PDF printer in a timely manner with small size. However, the API reports memory full.
The API resides in a dedicated reporting web service with NO other code except for loading the report, setting parameters and printing. When executing, it uses up to about 1.1GB before reporting the error.
Are there any other suggestions for fixing what we have? Are there known problems with large images in reports? Do we need to lodge a formal support request?

Printing font Barcode3of9 from Crystal Reports XI

I have an issue with printing font Barcode3of9 from Crystal Reports XI utilizing Manhattan Associates Performance Management (PM) UI application.
The font is applied to a field that is converted from a number to a text using the CStr formula in Crystal Reports XI in order to display the value as a barcode.
The barcode on the report is converted successfully in the PM UI 100% of the time. However the business tries to print the report using the print or the export the report functions and the barcode is not converted 100% of the time into a barcode only the value of the field displays.
The font is installed on the server that the business accesses and I have installed the font on the web server for our testing environment, but it still does not aide with fixing the issue.
Does anybody have any experience with this issue?
Thank you

Printing from Crystal Reports Viewer

I have an issue with a customer demanding to print Post Script from Crystal Report Viewer. When we print using the PS driver we get the form, but the data is blank. If we use PCL the report prints fine. Is there any recommendations for using PCL or PS. Customer says that Crystal reports are Post Script driven and the PS driver should work. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thank you Mariellen for posting the solution.
Also note that we have only tested the Zebra Printer with the Zebra Print Drivers. I worked with their developers and they said all drivers use the same under laying code so they should all work.
The other requirement is you must define your paper size in the driver config tool for each size you are going to use, have a separate Printer defined on your PC.
Thank you
Don

When I open E12 to print, the printer settings do not reflect my default printer settings.

Oversized page not formatted when sent from Crystal Enterprise

I have been racking my brain to figure this out and I hope that somene is able to help me. I have a report that is very wide and I have it set to print to Adobe PDF print driver with specified settings to include Landscape and page size = ISO B1. When I run this report and export directly from Crystal Reports, I get the desired results. However, once it is scheduled and emailed to the distribution recipients, it is formatted for Letter page size and portrait orientation.
I have made sure that the Page Setup is configured properly. I have used the "Manage Object" tool within the Repository Explorer and have tried to configure the Print Setup in the "Process" tab but I do not get the results that I am looking for. Is there anyone who has had this problem who may be able to help me out? I am having to run this report manually because I cannot get it to send properly.
Thank you. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!!! :P

Hi Marlene,
If you have a valid contract you can create a new message on line and get a Support Engineer to help you with this issue.
Try installing the same printer you used onto the BOE server and set the default size to B1. You can then select the printer I believe....

Can anyone let me know where is the problem?

Actually, the question boils down to; does the framework support the fonts?
I believe that my question re. this working in the designer was valid. The designer does not use the framework, so if it works there, it is either a framework issue or a runtime print engine issue.
I believe if you use the code below, it will list fonts available to the framework:
foreach(FontFamily ff in FontFamily.Families)
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ff.Name);

Some reports do not work after upgraded to Crystal Report 2008

Hi All,
After upgraed from Crystal Report XI to Crystal Report 2008, some reports work fine. others not. All of the not-working reports have the same problem: Database connection failed.
And I can even not be able to create a brand new report. The problem looks like following:
    1. Created a new ASP.NET solution in Visual Studio 2008. The page file is default.aspx
    2. Created an empty Crystal Report file: CrystalReportTEST.rpt
    3. Asign CrystalReportTEST.rpt to default.aspx
    4. Run default.aspx. It works fine
    5. Just connect to database without place any field to the report
    6. Run default.aspx again. It does not work. It shows blank screen with the message "Database logon failed." on the top-left corner.
Regards,
Triple

Hi Amit,
I have tested many times again for creating new report in new solution. It looks like that, the preview in VS2008 always work fine, but when runing the application, sometimes it works sometimes does not work. I have not still found the role. Following step shows my testing process:
