Hi,
This sounds like a similar problem that I had (and still having). It was (is) a Bug. Go to metalink.oracle.com and reference this bug#1413754. See if this is your problem as well. My only work around was change the format of the file instead of using character mode I am now using PDF. Which is working fine for me.

Printing Character Mode Report On Oracle 9i AS - Application Server

Hi All,
Even though I have put this problem in Reports Forum,
I thought it fit to put forward this problem in Forms Forum
since Forms Forum is being accessed by a large number
of developers across the world.
Now the problem :
I have developed a report in Character mode that runs in
hundreds of pages. The output will be taken on High speed
Dot Matrix Printer since the client requirement is fast printing
& economical printing. That is the reason to develop this report
in Character mode & not Bitmap mode. This report works
fine in Client-Server environment.
However, the problem lies in the Web Server environment.
The same reports will be run on Oracle 9i AS. Since the
browser supports only HTML & PDF format, Character
mode reports faces a major problem.
Can anybody help me to resolve this problem ??
I would like to remind you again that the constraint is NOT
TO USE LASER PRINTERS.
Thanks.

URGENT: Problem in printing Character Mode Report in Chinese Version

Hello,
I am working with Reports 6i. i have developed one Character mode report. This report is working and printing fine in Windows 2000 Server (English Version). But, this report is not working properly in Windows 2000 Professional (Traditional Chinese Version) where i have compiled report in Chinese Version Machine. And, i am getting the Preview properly. Main problem is at the time of printing. I am using EPSON LQ - 2070 Dot Matrix Printer.
Please help me on this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Try printing to file first and ensure that the output is correct in something like "notepad" with the appropriate font.

Character mode report cuts off last character on a line

Reports 9i, Windows 2003 Server. Printing character mode reports to IBM 6400 printer. I have a variable text column (multi line) and randomly the last character on a line gets cutoff. I'm using Courier 10 as my font. It is only 1 character that ever cuts cutoff. Any ideas? I'm desperate.

Hi,
change the reports height& width for landscape /portait.
and go to edit margin in layout.
see the layout and move to left if it has lot of gap in left side.
we can get correct output if the right side border is upto 8.2.
try with this.

Print SSRS Server Report in landscape or portrait mode directly(without report viewer control)

Hello,
.Net 4.0\VS2010\C#\ssrs 2008 on Sql Server 2008R2
Having a problem printing a Server report while controlling the orientation and the size of the emf rendered to the physical page.
I have the report cutting off in both landscape and portrait modes. I'm passing the following deviceinfo to the render function:
string DeviceInfo =
@"<DeviceInfo>
<OutputFormat>EMF</OutputFormat>
<PageWidth>8.5in</PageWidth>
<PageHeight>11in</PageHeight>
<MarginTop>0.25in</MarginTop>
<MarginLeft>0.25in</MarginLeft>
<MarginRight>0.25in</MarginRight>
<MarginBottom>0.25in</MarginBottom>
</DeviceInfo>";
return DeviceInfo;
string mimeType; string fileExtension; Stream pageStream = serverReport.Render("IMAGE", deviceInfo, firstPageParameters, out mimeType, out fileExtension);
No other settings seem to have an affect on controlling the output to printer or pdf. i.e. The deviceinfo params fed to server report's render function are all you get. I think my original code comes from an MSDN or CodeProject example. I'm not
inventing anything new here.
Links below indicate similar problems but they are looking at the issue from just landscape mode. Seems like I ought to be able to squash or expand the image to whatever size I specify, separate from the 'page' size. Please let me know what i need
to know to make these reports print without bleeding onto 2 pages or slicing off the right side of the document image.

Hi
FraterJoanni,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
I am not expert in SSRS. You should get better response in SQL Server > SQL
Server Reporting Services, Power View forum.
After take a look at the similar threads links as you posted above.
The conclusion is we needn’t tell the program o this report is landscape not portrait. If the width is larger than the height, the report will be printed in landscape; otherwise, it will be printed in portrait.
>>Links below indicate similar problems but they are looking at the issue from just landscape mode.
But in C# forum, we only from the point of code, code looks OK to me.
A similar blog talking about this
Controlling Page Size in a Reporting Services Report
And I have got the default page size in the US is Letter, 8.5in x 11in. In other parts of the world A4 (8.3in x 11.7in) is the standard.
65: //build the device settings (A4 8.3 × 11.7)
66: string deviceInfo = string.Format("<DeviceInfo><PageHeight>{0}</PageHeight><PageWidth>{1}</PageWidth></DeviceInfo>", "11.7in", "8.3in");
67:
68: //get report bytes
69: result = rs.Render(format, deviceInfo, out extension, out encoding, out mimeType, out warnings, out streamIDs);

Printing bold text in char mode report

Hi all,
I have developed a character mode report. I am able to print some text in big letters and some in condensed. But I am not able to print some text in bold. What printer cde should be used for printing in bold. Please help.
Thanks in advance
Murthy

Tanikella,
The escape codes might be different for different printers. You might need to check with the printer documentation and use that appropriately in the deflt.prt file of reports or the .prt file you use in desformat
Please refer to character mode printing chapter of

Printing of Character Mode Reports on 3 tier on Dev 6i

Has anyone done character mode printing of reports on Dev6i? We are facing problem of REP: 3002. We have already loaded Orarrp on server and client and also tried changing the service property from log on as System Account to Log on as Administrator and also vice-versa, but nothing seems to work.
Any help will be appreciated.
Plz repond to email: [email protected]
B.Suryaprakash

The first thing to do is to make sure that you can print a character mode report on the server box just using the rwrun60 executable.
If you can do this then you should take a look and make sure that the user that's started the reports server has access to the printer that you're trying to print to (you seem to have changed from the localsystem log on to Administrator, but are you sure that Administrator can access those printers).
I think that orarrp is a red herring here - and I'm not sure why you're trying to set it up.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Character mode report printing

hi everyone,
When I am running report in character mode, it is working fine in previewer. But as soon as I am giving the printing from there, it is giving Rbe ERROR dialog box and runform is getting hanged. How can I get report printed directly from previewer in character mode report generation.
On the other hand if i redirect o/p to a file by making destination type file, then I am able to take to print of file. If any have a solution, please reply ASAP.
Thanking every one
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
It is not clear from your question about the type of error message you are getting.
Please meake sure that the report is indeed a character mode report.
Please verify the following for that:
1. The mode in system parameters is defaulted to
'caracter'
2. In the property palette of the report, the "design in character units" should be marked as yes.
Please ensure that above points and try printing again.
thanks

6i character mode report migrate to 11g , printing result were incorrect in the same matrix printer?

Hi All
We got stuck when our 6i character mode report migrate to 11g.
We use the same PC to test, when run 6i report(character mode with 200 column) in legacy system, report result were correct in our matrix printer ,
When running in 11g, if we directly print report via report builder (without preview), result were correct.
But running report via preview/screen mode, printing result were incorrect ( not 200 column width).
We try to adjust PC's printer/paper setting , but our-defined printing option never appeared in printer dialog.
Is anything(config or some setting) we forgot to do in this situation ?
Thanks for all your patient response!

Page Header and Footer in Printer Friendly mode

Hi,
I have a report which has more than 500 rows and I want to print them.
The printer friendly mode works fine, but is it possible that there is a page "header" and "footer" on every page which is printed?
For example, that the column headings are on every page which was printed?
Or that at the bottom of each page is the page number displayed?
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks,
Tim

IE and Firefox are designed for WEB pages.
WEB pages are on Internet. Security is important and browser should not compromise user to use it.
Many users=Many printers!
If you want to write app for especially one printer and know users (Intranet application) then here is what you can do:
1) Use IE
2) write your own ocx with interface for your needs.
3) every user should implement this ocx in their browser.
4) When they accept your ocx, then in this "small app" you could do as much as this user can do on their own windows. So setting printer, orientation and size is a peace of cake.
5) make your report regarding this printer
And this is it!
And few other things...
If user choose larger font then your HTML is broken!!!
For that I think that PL/PDF or Mail merge is better solution!
