Print a report in java

Maybe this is not the appropriate section.. My problem is that I'm trying to realize a desktop application connected to a database, which should be able to manage data by GUIs and print report if it's necessary. For the first part everything's ok, but I've a few question about the second.. watching around I found some examples of classes that implement Printable which can be the answer of my question, but..
- is possible to create a report with a Printable class and then save it into a .pdf? and/or other formats?
Anyway, am I right in this or did I try something wrong?

You can create a PDF file using the [itext |http://www.lowagie.com/iText/] library
you can create reports using jasperreports
you can print the reports and save them as PDF,EXCEL ,HTML and more...
(jasperreports is using the [itext |http://www.lowagie.com/iText/] library )
you can edit your reports using ireport
hope that helps

Can you give me the sample coding to directly print out the report from java application by passing parameter?Thanks,Hui Bee

There is a Consulting Solution called BOInterface that Business Objects Global Services sells and that helps you to achieve what you describe very easily.
A description is <a href="http://www.mnsoft.org/bointerface0.0.html">here</a>.
Particularly, see the <a href="http://www.mnsoft.org/boxinterfacedocs/com/bo/boxinterface/boreport/scheduler/BOReportSchedulerPrinter.html">BOReportSchedulerPrinter</a>. BOInterface comes with a complete example on scheduling to printer; that example can even itself be scheduled.

Avoid Printer selection Dialogue box when printing Crystal report in JAVA

Hi i am calling crystal report in my servlet using Report Client Document SDK, now i want to print the report directly to the default printer set without selecting the printer from the select printer dialogue box. In other words want to avoid the select printer dialogue box from appearing . Can any body suggest me how do i do this .
Any suggestions appreciated.

In javascripting the code is
function Print()
if (document.all)
WebBrowser1.ExecWB(6, -1) //use 6, 1 to prompt the print dialog or 6, 6 to omit it;
WebBrowser1.outerHTML = "";
<object ID="WebBrowser1" WIDTH="0" HEIGHT="0"
CLASSID="CLSID:8856F961-340A-11D0-A96B-00C04FD705A2">
But the above code does not work in windows XP SP2.... and i cannot restrict my clients OS.
where as C#,ASP.NET provides the functionality to print directly to printer as
The ReportDocument class provides PrintToPrinter method that may be used to print a CR direct to the printer. If no printer is selected, the default printer will be used to send the printing pages to.
The PrintToPrinter method takes four parameters.
nCopies : Indicates the number of copies to print.
collated : Indicates whether to collate the pages.
startPageN : Indicates the first page to print.
endPageN : Indicates the last page to print.
The following steps will guide you to achieve the same:
Add crystal report (.cr) file to your ASP.NET application.
Add a report instance on the page level.
Dim report As MyReport = New MyReport
Populate reports data on Page_Init
' Get data in a DataSet or DataTable
 Dim ds As DataSet = GetData()
 ' Fill report with the data
 report.SetDataSource(ds)
Print Report
report.PrintToPrinter(1, False, 0, 0)
If you wish to print certain page range, change last two parameters From to To page number.
If you want to set page margins, you need to create a PageMargin object and set PrintOptions of the ReportDocument.
The following code sets page margins and printer name:
Dim margins As PageMargins = Report.PrintOptions.PageMargins
 margins.bottomMargin = 200
 margins.leftMargin = 200
 margins.rightMargin = 50
 margins.topMargin = 100
 Report.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins(margins)
 ' Select the printer name
 Report.PrintOptions.PrinterName = printerName
Thn Why not a java SDK for Crystal report can provide such a functionality...

Printing Access report from Java JButton

hi would anyone be able to help me i need to print a MS access report from a JButton on a Java interface i have connected to the database using JDBC-ODBC and can retrieve data from the table and store it in text fields on java GUI however i have problems when it comes to printing the reports.
Help I Need Somebody. :)

Not possible using Java.
I would guess that it is possible to do this using C/C++ and windows API calls. And once you figured that out then you could use JNI to call that code and that would allow you to use java.
I can think of one other odd solution....
1. Acquite 'AutoIt' - search for it on google
2. Create an AutoIt script that runs Access, opens the database and runs the report.
3. Use Runtime.exec() in Java to run AutoIt passing in the script from 2.

Printing report in java application

We have a java application with crystal report implementation. In this we have a option for printing the crystal report. While invoking the printing api we have the following error insteadof printing the report.
"The maximum report processing jobs limit configured by your system administrator has been reached."
Please help me for this issue.

I think you need to set the following Registry Key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CRYSTAL DECISIONS\10.0\REPORT APPLICATION SERVER\SERVER\PrintJobLimit

Printing the datas through Crystal Report from Java

How can I Print the datas through Crystal Report from

What the hell are "the datas"?

Print crystal report without using the print button on toolbar

Hi,
I am working on Crystal report XI. I need to print the report w/o using the toolbar. So I have inserted a print icon in the report. On clicking that icon it should call a jsp page which will print the report. I am not able to call any print methods provided by JRC to do this.
Can someone help me with this problem.
Is there some other way to implement it ?
Thanks

Print the report where? On what printer? The server's printer?
Java code runs on the server. You can't affect the client's computer from JSP.
You can write javascript code which can call window.print() but that is working through the browser to display the print dialog box (as if the user selected file:print)

Print a report from Application Express direct to a CUPS Printer

Hi all, I'm new to this technology, is it possible to print a report from Application Express directly to a CUPS Printer? Can someone tell me in laymans terms how to do it? I find the terminology and documentation less than helpful.

Jeremy,
BI Publisher handles submitting reports directly to a CUPS printer. However, the APEX integration doesn't currently integrate with that portion of BI Publisher.
Here's an options:
Use the Java API of BI Publisher to build a custom Java program that would do this for you. Delivering to CUPS is part of the Java API.

Print Message Report from Mobile

I haven't really done much enhancements on MAM 2.5, but Im sure sami will let you know where to add the code, or you can review the MAM enhancement guide on the CD.
In regards to printing the PIOS API is pretty simple. If you are using a laptop to print to a normal printer then you can just use the Win32 Drivers..(installed via driver addon from web sap console.)If you are using the handheld you will need to find the appropriate drivers.
Here is some code I used in one of my applications:
 Connector conn = Connector.getInstance();
 DriverInfo[] driverInfo = conn.listDrivers(ConnectionType.PRINTER);
 PrinterParameters params = new PrinterParameters(driverInfo[0]);
 params.setPrinterMode(PrinterParameters.GRAPHIC_MODE);
 GraphicPrinter gp = (GraphicPrinter) conn.open(params);
 File myImage = new File("c:
smalllogo.bmp");
 if (myImage.exists()) {
 float x = 0;
 float y = 50;
 try {
 String[] sFonts =
 gp.getFontConfigurationManager().listFontNames();
 PrinterFont pf = gp.getFont(sFonts[0]);
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 25,
 "TO For Delivery # = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(arrayItems[0], "VBELN"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 for (i = 0; i < arrayItems.length; i++) {
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 y,
 "Delivery Item # = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
 arrayItems,
 "POSNR"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 y = y + 10;
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 y,
 "Material # = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
 arrayItems,
 "MATNR"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 y = y + 10;
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 y,
 "Quantity to Pick = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
 arrayItems,
 "LFIMG"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 y = y + 25;
 gp.doPrint(1);
 gp.close();
 } catch (Throwable tFile) {
 tFile.printStackTrace();
 }
This should give you an idea, you should also read through the MDK documentation for the printer API (PIOS). Its quite easy to pick up and as long as you have the driver and connector installed it prints right away.(You could also use the Peripheral emulator in
NWDS to test the code first)
Hope this helps,
Wael..

Need Help with Print a Report

Hi,
I am building a database application in Java and now i need to print some reports ....
I need to get the data from the database .. do some calculations , and then print in on paper.
I checked online and got some tools like JasperReports, jfreereports, ReportCat, etc. so I was wondering if somebody can suggest whats the best.
In my report I will have to print more than one table on one page.
for example:
if I have 4 Invoices. then i will have 4 tables .. one for each invoice.. and each table will contain
the elements for that Invoice.If all can't fit on one page then it needs to go next page.
I would like to do all this stuff in Java without using any reporting tool ... but I am not really sure how this can be
done .. can someone give me an idea ... as per how this can be done .. will really appriciate all the help.
Thanks in advance,

Web printing crystal report hangs on report.PrintOptions.PrinterName

Hello,
I have a report web page that displays a crystal report. I have added a modal popup to allow them to select their printers. When I go to print the report is hangs on the line of rpt.PrintOptions.PrinterName = li.Text. The printer names are added to the list box using a Java applet.
Here is the Sub it is running.
 Public Sub PrintReports()
 rpt = CType(Session("rpt"), ReportDocument)
 For Each li As ListItem In Me.lbPrinters.Items
 If li.Selected AndAlso li.Text <> "" Then
 rpt.PrintOptions.PrinterName = li.Text
 rpt.PrintOptions.PrinterDuplex = CType(Me.cboDuplex.SelectedItem.Value, CrystalDecisions.Shared.PrinterDuplex)
 rpt.PrintToPrinter(CInt(Me.txtNumOfCopies.Text), True, CInt(Me.txtPageStartRange.Text), CInt(Me.txtPageRangeEnd.Text))
 End If
 Next
 Me.mpePrint.Hide()
 End Sub
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick

Sounds like you're trying to implement server side printing in your app. Which is fine, except the CR ActiveX print is client side printing. Just in case you're interested, the way to enable activeX print is to go to the property of the CR viewer and find "PrintMode". It will more than likely be defaulted to PDF. Change that to ActiveX.
Now, back to the issue. This may still be a matter of permissions - essentially what Adam was after. Probably the easiest way to determine that is to use the [Process Monitor|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx] utility. Once you have the log, search it for "Access Denied" messages.
