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.

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?

Can't print the report directly on the printer?

Dear All,
My client encounter a problem of printing a report directly to the printer. He is using developer 6i with OAS. His application is going to deploy on the web. He wants the report printed out directly on the "HP Laser Jet Printer" after the user has made the selection and clicked the "Print" button from the forms 6i. However, he got the error saying that
"Oracle Report Server OWS Cartridge - Report Job has terminated with error
Report Server Replies:
Rep-0713: invalid printer name 'HP4050' specified by parameters DESNAME."
And here is the parameter string passing into the report server:

Is there anyone can show me some light on it?!
Any help and idea is appreciated in advance!!!

Hi!
If reports are run in web env. then
you can print reports directly on
printer defined on m/c where report server
is running, not on client m/c. If you want
to print on client m/c then define that
printer on report sever m/c and make sure
report server can access that printer.

When send the report directly to the printer from Oracle IDS 9i

Hi.....
I m using Oracle IDS 9i, Oracle AS 9i and Database 9i for my new project.But i m facing a problem when i m trying to show a report from oracle IDS 9i.When i send the report directly to the printer without showing it,then the printer connected to the application server is working.But the printer connected to with PC(From where a send the command) is not working but printer connected with AS is working,but not that one which one i m wanting.....Why this problem is happening?Can anyone help me?
KSI

Note:It is always better to have network based printers rather then PC shared printers. What that means is your printer is not connected to a PC. It has a direct connection to the network via NIC. You would then setup the printer on your AS in the printers setup. If the AS is rebooted you do not need to authenticate the printer shares again with a network based printer.
If I understand you correctly, you have a printer connected to your AS(application server) and a printer connected to your PC. You can submit a report direct to the printer connected to the AS but cannot send a report direct to your printer connected to your PC.
From the symptoms you described, the problem is usually associated with the AS not being able to see the printer shared on your PC. You either have the address to your printer address defined wrong or your AS is trying to direct a job to your printer but doesn't have rights to do it.
First, Try to print a notepad job to your printer attached to your PC from the AS. This will tell you if you have access to do so or not.
- If it can't, you need to figure out why? This has nothing to do with oracle.
Second, thing to check is your Oracle "Report Queue Manager" on the AS. Make sure that you can submit a report manually from the Report Queue Manager. If it fails the "Report Queue Manager" will give you useful errors as to why it failed. This will help you isolate the problem.
Third, Once you can submit a job from the reports queue manager manually to your shared printer you should be able to submit from your application direct. If it still does not work your address to the printer is incorrect. Try submitting manually through the reports queue manager again. When selecting printer you will be given a list of accessible printers from the AS. Select the one connected to your PC. Once selected the full network address will appear. Copy and use this as the printer location in your job submission through your application.
That's it... Where using this right now and it works great. Hope this helps.

Send 10g reports directly to the default printer of the client machine

Hello..
We are using Oracle DS10g and Forms & Reports service 10g. When the user clicks on the report button I want to send the report directly to the default printer installed in the client machine. In this case the printer name may vary and I cannot parameterize the DESNAME parameter. How do i know what is the default printer? Any clue as to how can achieve the desired result?
Thanks

If you use webutil in your shop. You can use the CLient_win_api_environment.read_registry to get the default printer. In the run_report_object, desname gets set to the default printer.
This can also be found in metalink.
               V_PRINTER := CLIENT_WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.READ_REGISTRY('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows','Device',TRUE);
               V_PRINTER_LENGTH := LENGTH(V_PRINTER);
               V_PRINTER_BLANK :=     INSTR(V_PRINTER, ',');
               IF V_PRINTER_LENGTH > 0 AND V_PRINTER_BLANK = 0 THEN
                    :P_OUTPUT_FILE := V_PRINTER;
               ELSIF V_PRINTER_LENGTH > V_PRINTER_BLANK THEN
               :P_OUTPUT_FILE := SUBSTR(V_PRINTER, 0 , (INSTR(V_PRINTER, ',')-1 ));
               END IF;

How to send a report DIRECTLY to the printer (Linux App. Svr.)?

Here is the problem:
-- We have Windows clients / Linux App Server / Forms 10g R2.
-- Printers are attached to the Windows clients.
-- When we want to send DIRECTLY to the printer, we have to write data into a text file (using TEXT_IO) &
-- print the same using command HOST('lp -d '||<printer IP of logged in user>t||' '||<file name>,NO_SCREEN).
-- Our normal reports are displayed as PDFs.
Is there a way to directly send the PDF to the printer without having to re-write the report to a text file?? Then we can just use the PDF output and don't have to do any code changes (i.e. redo every report).

Use destype=printer.
The printer on the Windows client has to be defined as a network printer and be known on the Linux server.
Other options:
- use the orarrp utility
- if you call your Reports from Forms, you can use a Java bean
http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/article-6621538.html
Thank you for the quick response. Can u please tell us how to make the printer "known" as a Linux server?? Will a normal network admin know how to do this or is it an Oracle developer's task?

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.

How can I send a 10g report direct to the printer?

Hi!
I've got a form that calls n-times then same report, with different parameters.
Actually, I generate a pdf and then, the user could print it.... but it is not a good idea, I want to send the output direct to the printer.
do I have to register the printer name in any config file?
If I run my report with then following URL:
http://rx26201:7778/reports/rwservlet?report=test&DESTYPE=PRINTER&DESNAME=hplj_206
I got the following error:
REP-713: Invalid printer name 'hplj_206' specified by parameter DESNAME.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks a lot!
Carolina

Hi Carolina
You should give a little more information for example the platform (O/S), application etc.
Anyway, the printer should be configured and appear when "lpstat" is run assuming this is a unix like environment.
Hope this helps

Configuring Report Printing in a Full Development Environment
To configure the printing of reports in a full development environment:
1. Log in to Oracle Application Express Administration Services. See "Logging in to
Oracle Application Express Administration Services" on page 2-3.
2. Click Manage Service.
3. Under Manage Environment Settings, click Instance Settings.
4. Scroll down to Report Printing:
5. For Oracle BI Publisher, select one of the following:
– Standard Support - This is the default setting. Standard Support enables you
to print report regions and report queries using either the built-in templates
provided with Oracle Application Express or other XSL-FO compatible
formats you provide. This setting does not support RTF (rich text format).
Standard Support provides declarative formatting of report regions and report
queries with basic control over page attributes, including orientation, size,
column heading formats, page header, and page footer.
– Advanced Support - Requires a valid license of Oracle BI Publisher (also
known as Oracle XML Publisher). Advanced Support provides you with all
the capabilities of the Standard setting plus the ability to define RTF-based
report layouts developed using the BI Publisher Word Template Builder.
To learn more about installing and configuring Oracle BI Publisher, see PDF
Printing in Application Express 3.1. See:
6. For Print Server Protocol, select the protocol that the print server uses.
7. For Print Server Host Address, specify the host address of the print server engine.
8. For Print Server Port, define the port of the print server engine. By default, this is
set to 8888 when the report server is installed.
9. For Print Server Script, define the script that is the print server engine. The default
setting is:
/xmlpserver/convert
10. Click Apply Change

        ... LIST NAME name
        ... LIST DATASET dsn
        ... COVER TEXT text
        ... LIST AUTHORITY auth
        ... IMMEDIATELY flag
        ... KEEP IN SPOOL flag

        ... WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
2. ... SPOOL PARAMETERS params
         ... ARCHIVE PARAMETERS arparams
         ... WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
3. ... Further parameters (for passing variants)
        are described in the documentation for SUBMIT
The syntax check performed in an ABAP Objects context is stricter than in other ABAP areas. See Missing print parameters with SUBMIT.
Effect
Calls the report rep with list output to the SAP spool database.
Additions
... DESTINATION dest(output device)
... COPIES cop(number of copies)
... LIST NAME name(name of list)
... LIST DATASET dsn(name of spool dataset)
... COVER TEXT text(title of spool request)
... LIST AUTHORITY auth(authorization for display)
... IMMEDIATELY flag(print immediately ?)
... KEEP IN SPOOL flag(keep list after print ?)
... NEW LIST IDENTIFICATION flag(new spool request ?)
... DATASET EXPIRATION days(number of days list
retained)
... LINE-COUNT lin ( lin lines per page)
... LINE-SIZE col(col columns per line)
... LAYOUT layout(print format)
... SAP COVER PAGE mode(SAP cover sheet ?)
... COVER PAGE flag(selection cover sheet ?)
... RECEIVER rec(SAP user name of
recipient)
... DEPARTMENT dep(name of department)
... ARCHIVE MODE armode(archiving mode)
... ARCHIVE PARAMETERS arparams(structure with archiving
parameters)
... WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO(skip print control screen)
With the parameters IMMEDIATELY, KEEP IN SPOOL, NEW LIST IDENTIFICATION and COVER TEXT, flag must be a literal or character field with the length 1. If flag is blank, the parameter is switched off, but any other character switches the parameter on. You can also omit any of the sub-options of PRINT ON. mode with SAP COVER PAGE can accept the values ' ', 'X' and 'D'. These values have the following meaning:
' ' : Do not output cover sheet
'X' : Output cover sheet
'D' : Cover sheet output according to printer setting
armode with ARCHIVE MODE can accept the values '1', '2' and '3'. These values have the following meaning:
'1' : Print only
'2' : Archive only
'3' : Print and archive
arparams with ARCHIVE PARAMETERS must have the same structure as ARC_PARAMS. This parameter should only be processed with the function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS.
Effect
Output is to the SAP spool database with the specified parameters. If you omit one of the parameters, the system uses a default value. Before output to the spool, you normally see a screen where you can enter and/or modify the spool parameters. However, you can suppress this screen with the following statement:
... TO SAP-SPOOL WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
You could use this option if all the spool parameters have already been set!
reward points if hlpful.
Note
When specifying the LINE-SIZE, you should not give any value > 132 because most printers cannot print wider lists.
Addition 2
... SPOOL PARAMETERS params(structure with print
parameters)
... ARCHIVE PARAMETERS arparams(Structure with archive
parameters)
... WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO(skip print parameters
screen)
Effect
Output is to the SAP spool database with the specified parameters. The print parameters are passed by the field string params which must have the structure of PRI_PARAMS. The field string can be filled and modified with the function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS. The specification arparams with ARCHIVE PARAMETERS must have the structure of ARC_PARAMS. This parameter should only be processed with the function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS. Before output to the spool, you normally see a screen where you can enter and/or modify the spool parameters. However, you can suppress this screen with the following statement:
... WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO

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.
