Print report directly from URL

i have SSRS report where i have prompt to enter to get data. once the data is populated i would like to print directly from the print option rather saving to pdf and print. My page settings format is setup to 9X11 size. with this i can save and print fine.
But if i print directly to print on A-4 right most part is not printing and looks like i have to change settings in my report. How do we print this kind of report correctly on A-4 size paper. Any help much appreciated.

Hi SQL Instane,
Per my understanding that you want to print the report directly when click the print button and print on A-4, you have set the size to 9X11 and after print out, some of the part is not printing, right?
By default the size setting for print to A4 is 8.5X11 or 11X8.5, If you have changed to 9X11 and didn't set the body size of the report properly, it my cause the issue you are facing.
Details information below for your reference about how to do the size setting:
Change the report size setting to 8.5(Page Width)X11(Page height), you can also try to decrease the size of the "left margin" and "right margin" to increase the width.
Check the body size setting and maek sure they have the relationship as below:
Body Width + Left margin + Right margin <=Page width
Body height+ Top margin + Button margin <=Page height
If you have many columns and need to increase the width, you can also change the default setting "potrait" (8.5X11)to "Landscape"(11X8.5)

Printing Reports directly from to a printer via 10g forms (Linux)

Hi all,
I need to be able to print Reports directly from a form to a printer (bypassing the form output) on Linux (RHEL 5). The trick here is this is Linux, not windows so, wasn't sure how to deal with printers in this case.
I have the option working where I can run a report and set the options to "Cache" and PDF and it displays my outputted report directly in a new browser window w.
I use the SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY, RUN_REPORT_OBJECT, and WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT properly for the PDF in a window.
a.) I want to send them directly to a printer, preferably to a user's default printer on their PC, bypassing the output screen. How can I accomplish this?
b.) I also would like the ability to generate a PDF (bypassing the output on a browser window) and put the form in a specified directory on a client's PC (which is what I used in 6i Client/Server). I believe I need to utilitize the WebUtil to allow this to happen. Otherwise, I'm thinking I just build a queue for the user on the Linux server and build a screen that shows all the reports they've generated for the past X amount of days and let them open them up and print from there.
Any help (particulary for Part A) would be very beneficial.
Chris

1)
if your app server is on a Linux server, for direct printing to work, the printer must be setup and accessible under Linux server using system-config-printer command, for PDF printout you probably want a postscript option checked
if you print to screen (PDF) and then use print option then your windows client machine must have access to the printer
2)
you must pass this printer name as part of the report parameters.
set_report_object_property(oRptObj, report_destype, Printer);
and
hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&report='|| cRptSrcFile; -- source of report program to call
hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&destype='|| cDesType;
hope this helps

Print Report Direct from current PC

Hi
I want to print pre printed reports direct to dot matrix Printer without Concurrent Manager in requested PC ( Print from PC not from Server ) .
So , can i do that or not ?
Thanks,
Mohamed Badr

In general you have 2 options for printing.
1) print via the server printing queue
2) download/open the report and click the print button on your workstation
there is a 2 B option. If we are talking about a HTML based report you can modify the reports in such a way that you send a java script with it that starts the printing. However this is (A) not advisable and (B) somewhat experimental and not supported ;-)
If you want to know more about printing via javascript check this page: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/javascript/article.php/3471121/Print-a-Web-Page-Using-JavaScript.htm

How can I print pictures direct from my camera?

How can I print direct from my camera? This printer does not have any ports for accepting the card from the camera as my old photosmart printer did.

Hey rmg111!
What kind of printer are you using? Most of our newer printers still have memory card readers which would allow you to print pictures directly from the printer. If the printer truly does not have the memory card readers (some of them don't), then you would need to use a computer to transfer the pictures from the memory card before printing them.
Let me know if this helps!
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

Can not print report directly to printer.

Hi,
We are using Crystal Report Server for reporting in our project.
The version we are using is Crystal Report Server XI R2 and Crystal Report Server XI R2 SP 2.
Please kindly advice us on the following issues we faced:
- Can not print report directly to printer.
The print button on the Crystal Report Viewer prints the report to pdf and user have to click "Print" again in the pdf file. This is unusual and not convenient. As we have hundreds of reports to print, is there a way we can print the reporrt directly to printer?
- "Set to Null"
In the default interface of the Crystal Report View, there's is this "set to null" check box that we can not remove. Is there a way to do without it?
Thank you,
Kenny Tew

Morning Kenny,
The printer settings are in server management console. Additionally see what settings you have setup for the printer for the report in the server. If it is setup to use End User printer then check your End user machine settings and make sure the printer is setup as a default printer on his/her machine.
Please let us know how you get along with the issue.
As far as "Set to Null" I am not sure where it is set up. A screenshot of it might help understanding it better?
Many thanks
Regards
Jehanzeb
Edited by: Jehanzeb Navid on Oct 6, 2008 11:07 AM
Is this issue on all computers or only one computer?
I have just tested this on my colleague machine and it asks for default printer and not pdf however on mine I setup for pdf.

Print Crystal Report directly from C# without using Report Viewer

Hello All,
I need to print a crystal report directly to the printer without using ReportViewer in C#. I've a CrystalReport2(belowCode) which requires a query (Select * from JobHeader where JobNumber='J012345') to display all the data. I'm stuck with database connection
and putting all the data to DataAdapter in C# (Below Code). I also have 8 subreports in my CrystalReport2. Can somebody please give me hand on this? I'm struggling with it. Thanks.

Print report directly to printer

I am using Crystal Reports XI R2 to generate reports in Powerbuilder. I want to know whether it is possible to print the report directly to a printer without displaying it in the Crystal Report viewer?
Thanks,
Amol

I have a very similar problem, not being able to print a report directly to the printer.
But I am calling Crystal Reports v8.5 from VB6. I have tried the suggested code:
report.PrintOut(prompt user, numberofCopy, collated, startpage, endpage)
but get a "type mismatch" compiler error with "PrintOut" highlighted when compiling, eventhough the inline help shows this method and matching arguments.
I wonder if I have the correct DLL referenced.
This report runs fine thru the preview window, but since this is a series of reports about 100 pages, don't really want the user to have to specify print dozens of times.
Thanks,
Gene

Form 6i printing report directly to printer

Hi Professionals,
I am in badly need of help to print my barcode report directly to printer from form, currently it is working fine if i make it preview first and then user has to select network printer to print, but user is not accepting that manual step, and therefore we are unable to launch our material management module.

RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,'F:\IMS\REPORTS\STOCK_IN_BARCODE.rep',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,PL_ID);
IF I CHANGE IT TO THE FOLLOWING FOR DIRECT PRINTING IT IS NOT WORKING
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'PRINTER');
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'DESNAME', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'SOLABEL');
I appreciate any efforts to resolve this issue.
Thanks

Guide to Implement local printing on client in 10gas/9ias
To archive this goal we have used orarrp(Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility), which can be downloaded from the OTN website http://otn.oracle.com/sample/products/reports/index.html.
Steps:
1.Add the required ORARRP mime types to the Oracle HTTP Server configuration.
(Note: This will be the Oracle HTTP Server belonging to the Oracle Application Server 10g/9ias middle (BI & Forms) tier)
Do this manually by editing the httpd.conf
or
via the Oracle Application Server 10g AS Console e.g.
Navigate to the Middle Tier Components Page
Click on HTTP_Server -> Administration -> MIME Types
NOTE: MIME types added in httpd.conf are as per requirement mode in which report has to be run e.g. pdf, rt(rtf) and html etc. syntax for manual entry in httpd.conf is given below.
AddType application/x-orarrp-text     rrpt
AddType application/x-orarrp-ps     rrpp
AddType application/x-orarrp-pdf     rrpa
AddType application/x-orarrp-rt     rrpr
AddType application/x-orarrp-ini     rrpi
AddType application/x-orarrp-html     rrph
2. Create an aliasmatch in forms.conf pointing to a physical directory \tmp- for example, directory will be c:\tmp
Do this by manually editing the forms.conf
or
via the Oracle Application Server 10g AS Console e.g.
Navigate to the Middle Tier Components Page
Click on HTTP_Server -> Administration -> Advanced Server Properties -> forms.conf
Add a line like :
# Virtual path for physical directory of temp
AliasMatch ^/tmp/(..*) "C:\tmp/$1"
** IMPORTANT NOTE **
The advantages of making the changes via EM / AS console, rather than editing the files manually, are:
- the EM / AS console will put the mime type entries in the correct place
- the EM / AS console automatically issues a 'dcmctl updateconfig' which synchronizes the file changes with the Infrastructure Metadata Repository
- the EM / AS console will do the required restart of the HTTP Server component
(Only the HTTP Server needs to be stopped and restarted – Oracle AS 10g components can remain up and running)
If the changes are made manually then the following commands must be issued after the changes to httpd.conf and forms.conf have been made.
Run these command at run prompt
DRIVE:\oracle\FRHome_1\dcm\bin\dcmctl.bat updateconfig -ct ohs -v -d
(to synchronize the changes with the Metadata Repository)
DRIVE:\oracle\FRHome_1\dcm\bin\dcmctl.bat stop -ct ohs -v -d
DRIVE:\oracle\FRHome_1\dcm\bin\dcmctl.bat start -ct ohs -v -d
where DRIVE: is the drive where \oracle\frhome_1\ is installed.
3. Copy and run orarrp.exe on client machine in program files\orarrp\ folder.
4. Set value of options '”choose_printer=no” in orarrp.ini created at above folder.
5. Add following lines in your code of run_report procedure.
In declare section
vc_file varchar2(225);
In begin block add
/* Generate a pseudo unique filename */
vcfile:=:global.user_code||to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDDHHMISS');
vcfile:=vcfile||'.rrpr';
/* In this example - output will be rtf so adding .rrpr extension */
set_report_object_property(repid, report_filename,store_var);
set_report_object_property(repid, report_server, :global.r_server);
set_report_object_property(repid, report_execution_mode, batch);
set_report_object_property(repid, report_comm_mode, SYNCHRONOUS);
set_report_object_property(repid, report_destype, file);
set_report_object_property(repid, report_desformat,'rtf');
set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESNAME,'C:\tmp\'||vcFile);
---- path can be made dynamic by making a database entry in makess.path_entry for tmp folder and
---using proc_path procedure from path lib.
:GLOBAL.PrintOutPut := vcFile;
In Run report section make following change:
     vc_reportserverjob := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid,pi_id);
     report_job_id:=substr(vc_reportserverjob,length(:global.r_server+2,length(vc_reportserverjob));
     v_rep_status:=report_object_status(vc_reportserverjob);
     if v_rep_status='FINISHED' then
          web.show_document('/tmp/'||:global.printoutput,'_blank');
     else
          message ('error when running report'||v_rep_status);
end if;

Run SBO report directly from SDK

Hi, is there a way to run an SBO report (for example Service Contracts) directly from SDK? The report should be given the necessary parameters too.
I know that i can call Service Contracts form, simulate a query to find the appropriate record and then simulate a click on print preview button. This way it will undoubtedly work.
But I would prefer opening the print preview directly, without the need of opening another form, that slows down the whole process. Is there a way to do this?

Tamas,
There is currently not an object via the SDK to directly run a report. You would have to use the work around that you mentioned.

Print report directly to printer without acknowledgement

I created a join of 3 tables using SQVI in BI 7.0. Nobody else but me can see this query join. Is there a way to save this to somwhere public, so others can access this view? Maybe "Save As"??
If possible, please provide steps to do this.
Thank in advance!

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.

I assume you are doing a cross platform deployment

Print report directly to printer using RUN_PRODUCT in Forms6i

Hi all,
I would like to have information regarding print any .rdf directly to printer from form 6i using RUN_PRODUCT.
I got help from Form Builder Help option and tried following coding in form
     DECLARE
     PL_ID                    PARAMLIST;
     printername          VARCHAR2(50);
     BEGIN
     PL_ID := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('WEIGHMENT');
          IF NOT ID_NULL(PL_ID) THEN
               DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(PL_ID);
          END IF;
          PL_ID := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('WEIGHMENT');
          printername := '"'||'I.T Printer'||'"';
          Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, PRINTER);
          Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'DESNAME', TEXT_PARAMETER, printername);
          Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'P_EQ_NBR', TEXT_PARAMETER, :weighment.eq_nbr);
          Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'P_WT_GKEY', TEXT_PARAMETER, :weighment.gkey);
          Run_Product(REPORTS, 'c:\wegt001r', ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, PL_ID, NULL);
     EXCEPTION
          WHEN OTHERS THEN
          MESSAGE(SQLERRM);
     END;
END IF;
But report did not printed and following message received in Reports Background Engine
Error submitting report [Thu May 07 18:49:23 2009] ...
REP-0159: Syntax error on command line.
Pls help.
Thanks,

Hi Heidi
I have already tried printername := 'I.T Printer'; but result is same.
This is also my default printer and I tried to add / remove the following coding
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'DESNAME', TEXT_PARAMETER, PRINTER);
but in both cased I received the same error.
I also tried to print thru HOST command as follows
the_username := Get_Application_Property(USERNAME);
     the_password := Get_Application_Property(PASSWORD);
     the_connect := Get_Application_Property(CONNECT_STRING);
the_command := 'rwrun60 report=c:\wegt001r.rdf userid= '||the_username||'/'||the_password||'@'||the_connect||' DESTYPE=Printer BACKGROUND=NO BATCH=YES ERRFILE=c:\reports\error.log LOGFILE=c:\reports\joblog.log p_eq_nbr='''||'TESTMKI'''||' p_wt_gkey=118306';
Host( the_command );
Host command displays correctly but no printing.
I then change my command as follows
the_command := 'rwrun60 report=c:\wegt001r.rdf userid=test/test@test DESTYPE=Printer BACKGROUND=NO BATCH=YES ERRFILE=c:\reports\error.log LOGFILE=c:\reports\joblog.log p_eq_nbr='''||'TESTMKI'''||' p_wt_gkey=118306'; and now report prints on printer.
But I cannot hard coded the username, password and connect.
Thanks,
Hassan
