Print report to POS printer

Hi all,
from my Form(6i) user opens report in PDF and after that they print it on POS printer(Epson). But problem is that paper printed have A4 format height, so how can I set up so that paper can be printed shorter?
All the time users cutting rest of paper...
Thanks in advance,
Vlatko

This may not help you, but we had an issue with missing fonts on a server. Some developers here used a helvetica font when creating the report on their local machines. When the file was executed on the server, the font defaulted to Arial, which is the first one in the list. There are all kinds of font directories and files buried all over the place in windows. Trying updating everyone you can find.

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

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.

Report Generation Toolkit V9.0.0 : Print Report.vi doesnt print

Hi,
i have migrated my Labview 8.5 Project with Report Generation Toolkit V1.1.2 to a Labview 2009 System with Report Generation Toolkit V9.0.0.
In this Project I use the Report Generation Toolkit for printing out a Standard Report with e few Tables and Graphs.
Now the VI Print Report.vi delivers the Error -41002 with the Text "Invalide Printer Name". I have, of course installed the propper Printer on the machine.
I don´t connect a string to the "Printer name" input of the VI, because i want to use the default printer.
In my oppinion, there´s a bug in the Print Report.vi: if you don´t wire the "Printer name" input, the vi should use the default printer, but in this case the vi connects the empty input string to the input of the method node it calls.
I fixed this bug, but the method node still returns the same error.
any ideas?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for the link!
For some reasons i can´t find this specific article in the knowledge base (my browser is always rerouted to the german version of ni.com, because i am in Austria). I tried to search with the exact title of this article, and the error message string, but no results...
I have also installed Labview 8.5 and the "old" Toolkits on my new computer in addition to Labview 2009 and the "new" Toolkits and tested my program in 8.5. Here i got an error mentioning the margins and i had to change the margin settings for printing out, then in worked.
After reading the article, i have applied the same changes for the margins in the 2009-version of my program and it works too!
Problem solved!
Thank you very much!
PS:
I first wrote, that there´s maybe a bug in the new version of the Print Report.vi, but i´ve compared it with the old version and it seems to be no bug, sorry!
After all I decided to stay with Labview 8.5 for now, because of another problem:
it´s not possible to "save for previous version" from LV2009 to LV8.5 directly.
Laview crashes, when a VI contains an event structure as i found out by searching through the "known issues", and i have a lot of VIs with event structures!
I have to have the possibility to save my Labview projects for 8.0 and 8.5. The only way is to save for 8.6 and then save from 8.6 to 8.5.
That´s nasty and time-consuming!
Maybe a future update will solve this problem (without producing new ones)

Printing report to direct print 9i

Hi,
I am able to direct print the reports on web using normal parameters...i.e. desname, destype and desformat.
When it prints successfully, it gives us a message in a separate browser window "The report has been successfully printed out"
And we don't want this message. Can anybody tell me to suppress this window and message ?
Command:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet?
report=REPORT.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@ora&
P_DEPTNO='||:EMP.DEPTNO||'&
desformat=htmlcss&destype=printer', '_blank');
Thanks,
Martonio.

Martonio,
if you use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT() built-in in Forms to print Reports then you don't have this problem.
If you request the Report directly from a Web browser, not using Forms at all, please ask the same question on teh reports forum here on OTN.

Printing Report on client printer

Hi,
I am using oracle 9ids ( Oracle9i Developer Suite 9.0.2.0.1 ).
I have an application which call a report from a form module.
I run the application from another machine and that machine has a local printer installed on that machine.
when I give destype=printer in the parameter form and submit, it will not print the report.
What I have to do to print the reports.
Please let me know the solutions for this ASAP.
Regards,
Malay

The simplest way is to have your report output to pdf and then they can print the pdf. If you are trying to print directly to the printer without showing the report on the screen at all, then what we have done is make the local printer available from the network and then send the output of the report to the network name for the printer.
The problem is that the report is running on the reports server, not the local machine. The reports server doesn't know anything about the local printer of the client. To be able to print a report directly, the reports server has to be able to "see" the printer.

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);

          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

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.
MY CURRENT CODE WHICH WORKING FINE WITH PREVIEW..................
add_parameter(PL_ID, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'PREVIEW');
add_parameter(PL_ID, 'MAXIMIZE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'YES');
add_parameter(pl_id,'paramform',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
add_parameter(pl_id,'STR',TEXT_PARAMETER,:IM_STR_ISSUE_MASTER.STR_CODE);
add_parameter(pl_id,'BAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,:IM_STR_ISSUE_DETAILS.BAT_ID);
add_parameter(pl_id,'DIV',TEXT_PARAMETER,:IM_STR_ISSUE_DETAILS.GRP_CODE);
add_parameter(pl_id,'GRP',TEXT_PARAMETER,:IM_STR_ISSUE_DETAILS.SUB_GRP_CODE);
add_parameter(pl_id,'ITM',TEXT_PARAMETER,:IM_STR_ISSUE_DETAILS.ITEM_CODE);
add_parameter(pl_id,'COPIES',TEXT_PARAMETER,:IM_STR_ISSUE_DETAILS.QTY);
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;

Can I print report to a printer thru report server?

If I use a report server and run the application thru browser, can I print the report to a print thru report server? and How?

hello,
use DESTYPE=PRINTER to print directly to a printer. you have to set DESNAME to the name of the printer
regards,
the oracle reports team

When using "Print Report" my default printer changes.

Hello,
I have the need to print two different kinds of reports to two different printers depending on which report it is. I use the Office toolkit and wire the correct printer for the report using the "Print Report" tool. However, each time I do this, it changes the default printer in Windows to the printer wired. I don't want to change the default printer just send the report to the specified printer. Is there a work around?

Hi The Q,
a workaround could be to read first which the default printer is, then print your page with the printer you want and then reset the stored printer to default. The information which printer is the default printer can be read from the registry.
Hope this helps.

How to print reports on local printer?

We are using the rwservlet to print the reports using Oracle reports 10g release 2 report server.
Is there any way to send the output to local printer directly instead of browser. The output is in PDF format.
Any suggestion/link will be appricated.

i have a group of reports, need to print at once. so planning to call the reports one by one from java using rwservlet as below..
1.http://localhost:7778/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_barcode_frhome2&destype=Printer&printjob=yes&desformat=pdf&report=/tmp/abc1.rdf&cmdkey=abc
2.http://localhost:7778/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_barcode_frhome2&destype=Printer&printjob=yes&desformat=pdf&report=/tmp/abc2.rdf&cmdkey=abc
N.http://localhost:7778/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_barcode_frhome2&destype=Printer&printjob=yes&desformat=pdf&report=/tmp/abcN.rdf&cmdkey=abc
Since it will have many pdf, so want to print directly to local printer to user. they will be accessing through Internet.
Thanks in advance.

Print report to client printer from forms

Hi,
I need to print a report directly to a client printer.
There is a utility called ORARRP - Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility.
But the document I saw was from Oct 2001 - so is this still the only and best option ?
I'm using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT in forms to launch the report.
This works fine when the DESTYPE is FILE and DESNAME = PDF
The PDF-outputt is then successfully shown with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
When changing DESTYPE to PRINTER and DESNAME to clients printername then report won't run. "Report filed with error message TERMINATED_WITH_ ERROR".
Is it possible to print directly to a client printer using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT ?
(Our client printers are not networkprinters)
Environment:
Forms [32 Bit] version 9.0.4.0.19
Report Builder 9.0.4.0.33
Reportsserver on linux
Thanks !
Sam

(Our client printers are not networkprinters)This means you cannot print from the server directly on the client printer with destype=printer, since the server cannot see the printer.
So, a manual print command by the user from the browser or the orarrp utility are your options.

I need a small information.if any one of our guys can give me some info that would be great.

Printing report directly on printer or pnly displaying based on a parameter

Hi All,
I am running a report from Form Builder - 10g and intend to either preview a report or print it based on a parameter.
Have searched through this forum and got to use - CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry in order to find the default printer at the client side.
This is my code -
PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT_DN (cID_PRINT_TYPE NATURAL,cListName varchar2)
IS
pl_id paramlist;
v_rep_id report_object;
v_rep_job_id varchar2(100);
v_rep_status varchar2(100);
v_server varchar2(100) := hpm_admin.getcontrolvalue('REPORT_SERVER');
vjob_id VARCHAR2(100);
V_PRINTER varchar2(100);
p_printer_name varchar2(100);
BEGIN
-- check whether the paralist name is ok, if not set it right ...
pl_id := get_parameter_list(cListName);
-- pl_id := GET_REPORT_RUNMODE( cID_PRINT_TYPE,cListName );
V_PRINTER := CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.READ_REGISTRY('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows','Device',TRUE);
p_printer_name := (substr(V_PRINTER, 1, instr(V_PRINTER, ',' , 1)-1 ));
-- run the report ...
if not id_null(pl_id) then
v_rep_id := find_report_object('REPORT126');
if cID_PRINT_TYPE = 0 then ---- parameter to decide preview or print
set_report_object_property(v_rep_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,cache);
set_report_object_property(v_rep_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,ASYNCHRONOUS);
Else
     set_report_object_property(v_rep_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,PRINTER);
     set_report_object_property(v_rep_id,REPORT_DESNAME,p_printer_name);      set_report_object_property(v_rep_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
end if;
set_report_object_property(v_rep_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
     set_report_object_property(v_rep_id,REPORT_SERVER,v_server);
v_rep_job_id := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(v_rep_id,pl_id);
message('v_rep_job_id - '||v_rep_job_id);pause;
vjob_id := substr(v_rep_job_id, length(v_server)+2 , length(v_rep_job_id));
message('vjob_id - '||vjob_id);pause;
v_rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep_job_id);
if v_rep_status in ('FINISHED', 'RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') then
     web.show_document ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||vjob_id ||'?server='|| v_server,'_blank');
else
     message ('Report failed with error message '||v_rep_status,acknowledge);
end if;
end if;
END;
But I am getting the error - CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Read_Registry must be declared.
Wat setup/syntax is missing.
Can someone advise plz...

Welcome to Oracle Forums!
Please acquaint yourself with the forum FAQ and etiquette if you have not already done so.
The use of CLIENT_XYZ API requires WEBUTIL to be configured. Have you done that?
Cheers.
