Printing on a report environment

pls i want to create a formatted report page that will present the content of a database, so users can print the content of the page.
E.g the details of student are stored in a databse how can i allow user view the details of the student in a formatted report and print out.

Formatting of a Crystal Report is printer driver dependent - it's the only graphic device on Windows that have sufficient fine-grained control:
[How to Design Reports That Print Consistently in Different PC Environments|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40e40899-721e-2b10-b084-c7ed76af46f1]
Unfortunately, this makes the report formatting dependent on the printer driver - you should use the exact same printer driver (same brand, type, and even version and build numbers).
Setting "No Printer" uses default screen resolution, so would give you less fine-grained formatting (although it'll be consistent across machines).

How to issue print command from report/form server to client printer on web

1) We have a client server application which is to be deployed on the web environment. The reports generated in our application are having a destination type as File. These reports are printed after applying some print format (escape sequences) which are passed on to the printer programmatically at runtime while printing.
Now when this application is shifted on to the Application server (Forms server & Reports Server )in web environment ,the report outputs would be generated in the application server as against the client in client server environment as the report server is on the application server.
Now while printing/accessing the report the output file will not be available to the client unless it is pushed on to the client side from the server . I am able to see reports in pdf/html output but in this case layout of my reports gets changed and I dont want to change my layouts or reformat my report layouts.
How do I redirect the report output from the application server on to the client within the D2k context and then execute print commands?
Note: In this case we want to use both DMT and Laser printing. Also note that we use escape sequences to adjust reports in desired printing papers.
2) We have second set of reports which we call as document because these are printed after capturing data from 'Form' using text_io utility (please note that for these documents we are not using any Report 6i functionality)and we print it from file using printing mechanism as mentioned above. These are working well in client server application. We adopted this methodology for getting better performance (in terms of speed as database server and network traffic is not involved) of printing. But now we are converting our application for web, we are finding it difficult how to capture Form's data from browser to client's machine and then executing printing commands which are stored in our application liabrary.
If you help me out by giving some suggestions, I shall be grateful to you.

Hello
I wonder if you ever solved this problem.
I have a very similar problem with Photoshop CS5 on Mac OSX 10.6 + HP Photosmart C7180.
If I choose "Photoshop Manages Colors" the results are lousy.
If I choose "Printer Manages Colors" the results are OK. not necessarily great.
I believe I have all the correct settings after going through books and web advice (and wasted a lot of paper and ink).
As far as I can see, "ColorSync" is the internal Mac management which is the only option available with "Photoshop Manages Colors" and "Vendor Matching" appears to mean the printer vendor (ie HP) will provide the matching. Either can be selected if "Printer Manages Colors" is used. It seems the type of paper can be set in three different places. if That's all a bit academic as the results are poor regardless.
My wife suggests I buy a new printer - Epson's looking good.
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

Printing Oracle 10g Reports in Line Matrix Printers

Hello!
I encountered problem when printing a generated report in Oracle 10g Reports to a Line Printer. When the report is in PDF format, the fonts when printed on line printers become scattered and the orientation of the report rotates 90 degrees. If I use HTMLCSS format, the pages are not of fixed size. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

1. Setup CUPS Printing Environment in Linux / Unix (on many modern Linux systems, CUPS is the default Printing System at the moment). The details of setup / build of CUPS is beyond the scope of this article. For details, please visit CUPS sites and documentation :
http://www.cups.org
http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html
The setup of CUPS is complete for our purposes, once you are able to print PDF documents directly from unix shell as follows :
$ PRINTER=yourprinter
$ export PRINTER
$ lp test.pdf
OR
$ lpr test.pdf
* The "yourprinter" above should be substituted with the name of your printer queue defined in CUPS and "test.pdf" is any pdf document available on this server.
2. In reports.sh, set the following parameter and restart the Report Server:
REPORTS_CUPS_PRINTING=YES; export REPORTS_CUPS_PRINTING
3. Setup PDF functionality (including Font Subsetting / Embedding etc) to display the output as required in PDF format. To check this, run the report with the option "...destype=cache&desformat=PDF...".
4. Run the report with parameters "...&desformat=PDF&destype=printer&desname=yourprinter&...."
This way, Reports Server generates a PDF file in cache and sends it to CUPS printer queue, ie the "desformat=pdf" option is no longer ignored with "destype=printer".

Print Quote the report is in PDF but need to be new RTF template

We have 11.5.10 apps, the Quote screen is an OAF screen.
When clicking Print Quote the report is in PDF, They want to include a new RTF template for printing instead of PDF.
The new RTF template is created. But what I do not know is how the quote screen will take the new template. I can use XMLP to upload the RTF template but that may not be sufficient to make it appear in the Quote screen.
I am looking at the profile ASO:Default Layout Template. Am I headed the right way?

Customize printed purchase order report

Hi all
i need to customize Printed purchase order report
i need to add supplier item number to printed purchase order report
where(group) i need to add item number i think it g_lines right?
item number is sengment from tml_system_items_b is it correct
ple reply it is urgent
ashok

Ashok,
Try to get a sample and understand the concern from your users. See if that is already customized to not show the supplier item number (as far as I remember I don't think there are any conditions in the standard report that qulify the printing of the supplier item number, it should print as long as it is entered in the supplier item number field in the PO lines). So see where your users are entering this in PO lines.
Yes it is vendor_product_num in PO lines table.

Direct Print a webi report, from InfoView

Hi,
I want to direct print a webi report after I open it with InfoView, but i don't know if it's possible.
Right now, when I open a webi report in InfoView I have a button saying "Print to PDF", which will open that report as a PDF document.
But I want to print directly to a printer and not to open the report in a pdf viewer.
Is there a way to have a direct print button in InfoView for webi documents ?
Thank you.

Hi Eugen,
At this point it is not possible.
Here is SAP Notes which clearly state that SAP BOJ is aware of it and got several enhancement request and these requests are reviewed every six months. Since these requests require major changes in the software, SAP BOBJ has not given any time frame of availability of this feature.
Here is SAP NOTE: 1345933

Unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12

Hi All,
We are unable to print xml publisher report in excel format in R12. We were able to see the excel output but it's printing junk characters while printing and it's printing without any issue with PDF format.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
Thanks,
Raja

Hi Raja,
I presume you have gone through the debugging process of testing your template locally first to get the expected result.....
If yes, this note might probably be helpful "Changing Output Format to RTF or Excel in XML Publisher Request Does Not Display Output Correctly (Doc ID 404512.1)"

"print quality diagnostic report"

I have a HP Deskjet 3520 All-in-one printer and I just went to the "HP Deskjet 3520 series toolbox". Under the first tab (Device Services) is the button "Print Quality Diagnostics Page". I then clicked on that button and got the "Print Quality Diagnostic Report".
However i can not find anything that tells me what all the diagnostics mean.
attached is the document that I am talking about.
Questions:
1. The Magenta shows lines in the top of the lines on the top of the report but these go away at the bottom. Do I need to run a clean head cycle or seeing as that cartridge is low on ink just replace it?
2. In the bars of solid colors the light yellow (the bottom bar) has a white streak through it. Again I know it is low on ink. Is the issue there the ink level or does the head need cleaning?
3. Below those bars are numbered items about the printer but what does PHA mean? (Print Head Assembly?)
4. Number 22 in that list is PHA Drops. What does that mean?
Does anyone know where I can go to get answers to these questions?
Any and all help is appreciated.

Printing out a report in PDF format

Hi,
A colleague and myself have been converting an existing system for our customer from the traditional client/server architecture to a web-deployed system on 10g application server. I have been converting the reports from report 3.5 to reports 10g. The reports work fine but the problem we have is more to do with the printer than the reports itself.
We have a requirement to print a barcode label (and some other text) to a DataMax printer. This printer seems to be quite fussy about the fonts that are used and essentially if you don't use the DataMax fonts the label comes out blank. I have managed however to produce reports as PDF and if I click the Printer button in the adobe control the report will print out as a bitmap image on the printer.
Is there any way that I can produce the report as a PDF file and get it to print automatically ?

Prohan,
I have never been able to get PDF generation working from APEX. I have asked for some help on this forum, but go no responses. And I just won't spend the outrageous license fees for Oracle BI Publisher. But I have been successful in doing what need with some simple methods.
1. If the email has some simple tables or formatted information from the database, use a PL/SQL procedure to generate an HTML formatted message and the utl_mail package to send the html formatted email. I use this for many customer and internal emails from both APEX and Oracle Forms applications.
2 There is a stand-alone product PL/PDF (http://www.plpdf.com/) that allows you to generate PDF files directly from PL/SQL (again not APEX specific). I have demoed this product and it works pretty well, but I am not using it at this time because of the licensing that requires a fee for each database instance. It's not really that expensive, but it's more than I want to spend for the number of databases I have.
3. If you have Acrobat Professional, you can export XML file from the database and create "mail merge" type PDF documents. But you can also do this with Word and a simple CSV or Excel output. Both of these are pretty easy from APEX. I have used both. I found the Work mail merge to be a little easier for end users to use, so this is my primary choice. But Acrobat Pro method also works well.
If you are interested in any examples of these methods, let me know and I can send you something.
