Printing a report directly to the printer on the client machine

Hi All,
I am migrating reports from 6i to 10g, all these reports are called from menu and some from forms. There are some reports which are directly sent to the printer for printing. My question is when we run those reports that are sent directly to the printer from OAS, Can we make it refer to the printer set up on the client machine?. Can any one let me know regarding this?.
Regards,
Prasad.

Check out the orarrp utility (Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility) on Metalink, note 277431.1.
It may be easier in the end to set up printers on the OAS. I guess that client PC's are using network printers, or are the really using printers connected directly to the PC?

  • Printing a report directly to an printer via the printer's IP Address.

    I am looking for how to print a report (either text or pdf) from a PL/SQL procedure, directly to a known IP Address of a printer.
    We have a report that is generated through forms as a pdf. The user can then obviously read it and print it to a printer from their machine.
    We are trying to implement a Stored procedure that will print that report directly to a know printer's IP Address.
    How can this be done?

  • Print BW report directly

    Hi Experts,
    we want to print a Report directly after clicking on print version. We don't want to first open the pdf file and then click another time on print. Is there any solution?
    The best solution would be, that we print automatically the report on our local printer after confirming the filter variables.
    Thanks for your help
    Sebastian

    There should be a javascript command, something like window.print, which you could put in the onLoad function of the page.
    The problem here is that it doesn't print in the nice PDF version.
    Cheers,

  • Print RDLC Report Directly to Printer with SubReports!

    I am currently printing a report directly to the default printer using the code from this link. 
    http://msdn.AddHandler
    ReportViewer1.LocalReport.SubreportProcessing, AddressOf SubreportProcessingEventHandler
    and this code:
    Public Sub SubreportProcessingEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As SubreportProcessingEventArgs)
    Dim zrpt = e.ReportPath
    Select Case zrpt
    Case "WOPartsSubReport"
    Dim ds1 As New WOPartsSubReportDataSet
    Dim da1 As New WOPartsSubReportDataSetTableAdapters.wopartsTableAdapter
    da1.Fill(ds1.woparts)
    e.DataSources.Add(New ReportDataSource("DataSet1", ds1.Tables("woparts")))
    Case "WOLaborSubReport"
    Dim ds2 As New WOLaborSubReportDataSet
    Dim da2 As New WOLaborSubReportDataSetTableAdapters.wolaborTableAdapter
    da2.Fill(ds2.wolabor)
    e.DataSources.Add(New ReportDataSource("DataSet1", ds2.Tables("wolabor")))
    Case "WOLockoutSubReport"
    Dim ds As New WOLockOutSubReportDataSet

    da.Fill(ds.wolock)
    e.DataSources.Add(New ReportDataSource("DataSet1", ds.Tables("wolock")))
    End Select
    End Sub
    But now that I am NOT using a reportviewer how can I still get the subreports to work and still print directly to the printer?  Where would I put the code to do that?
    Thanks,

    NEED HELP !!
    Regards,

    The printer has to be known on the server where the Reports service runs.
    Also, the user who runs the Reports service has to have access to that printer. If you are running on Windows, Reports Service runs as Local system by default. Change that to a real (domain) user, who has access to the printer.

  • Print a report to a specific printer from Forms

    If i go to my control pannel and see the list of printers i take the printer name from there. should i put the path of the printer? i kno the port of the printer .it come like ip_192.1.11.1_p1 ..how do i define the printer name? if i dnt give the printer name shouldnt if fire to the default printer ..my code is as follows
    declare
    REPID REPORT_OBJECT;
    V_REP VARCHAR2(100);
    REP_STATUS VARCHAR2(20);
    BEGIN
    REPID := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('CUS_PRINT');

  • Print PDF file directly to store printer

    Hi Gurus,
    Having not found a solution, we think we need help from you. We have searched forums and google but have not found adequate solutions.
    We are a retailer having different stores. Our main office is using SAP. Each store has its printer and defined in our SAP system. We want to print PDF files directly to store printer using SAP . How should we do that ? We think there are 2 steps:
    1) Upload PDF files from network directory into SAP (We done it, no problem)
    2) Having now PDF files in internal tables, how should we proceed to print PDF files using store printers?
         Please note that we do not want to use CL_GUI_PDFVIEWER since we do not want to display the PDF and having the obligation to choose the print option from dialog and also we do not want to call Adobe OLE object  to print
    Any answer would be appreciated
    Thank you very much

    Hi,
    It is really late to give response this post. But still who ever refering to this post for the same issue this solution is useful for achieving same in background:
    Even same can be used in smartforms, for getting spool request in PDF format as well which will decrease the size of file when printing in SAP printer.
    ct_tline is PDF output:
    DATA: lv_pdfsource TYPE xstring.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS:<p> TYPE x. " <p> type any.
    LOOP AT ct_tline INTO cs_tline.
      ASSIGN cs_tline TO <p> CASTING TYPE x.
      CONCATENATE lv_pdfsource <p> INTO lv_pdfsource IN BYTE MODE.
    ENDLOOP.
    * ->Create spool request in PDF format
    CALL FUNCTION 'ADS_CREATE_PDF_SPOOLJOB'
      EXPORTING
        printer  = 'LOCL'            "Printer name supporting PDF device type

  • Printing APEX reports directly to the printer

    Hi All,
    Last few days I have been following forum quite often to get the post which could match my requirements, but in vain. I would appreciate if I can get assistance with this.
    I want APEX application to print a specific report (when 'print' clicked) to printer directly instead of showing the PDF itself.
    As a matter of fact this system will be hosted on a TOUCH SCREEN system for users, and the requirement says it should be as user friendly (as much as it can). I want few reports which as specific to that employee to be printed directly without showing the details to the user.
    I already have Print server configured (BI publisher)
    Thank You in advance.

    Thanks for your comment. May be i phrased my statement wrong. As you said, definitely this is not the solution but a work around to my problem using 3rd party. This is the reason why i did not mention this solution on forum and said that its a "*work around*". This was a requirement and I had to get it any how quickly (time constraint) using free application. Meanwhile, i am also looking around if something like this could be done in Web Pages. Please let us know when you come up with solutions.
