Printing PDF report directly to printer, not using orarrp utility

The orarrp utility works only with Windows machines and it
requires installation on both the client machines and servers to
support. We need a more general solution.
Adobe has a java application/applet/javabean (and support
classes) to view PDF, and it is easy to write a java driver
which can be used in place of the orarrp utility. However,
Adobe's Java Viewer is extremely slow, does not produce quality
output, and is explicitly not supported by Adobe.
My question then relates to Reports. When the Report server
returns a PDF in the Previewer, I'm expecting the JINITIATOR,
used by Forms, is also used to support the Report frame and
functionality, including eventual printing. If this is the case,
is there not a set of classes, downloaded with Jinitiator, which
support the fonts, and printing of PDF to locally attached
printers?
And if so, shouldn't we, in Java, be able to make use of these
classes and their APIs to print PDF files directly to locally
attached printers without the need for Previewing first?

within a forms trigger:
1. generate the report
2. copy from iAS to local
like: webutil_file_transfer.url_to_client()
3. print.exe /d:printer filename (for windows OS)

Orarrp can't print pdf file directly to printer

oracle remote print utility (orarrp) can't print pdf file directly to printer.
we expect orarrp utility can handle ".rrpa" file (i.e. pdf file generated on the application server) by directly print the file to the client's printer, i.e. invoke the acrobat reader on the client side, display the the printer selection dialogue, after confirmation print the pdf file, then the acrobat reader close automatically nicely.
However we are disappointed as the acrobat reader startup and display the pdf file content but does not print and does not close.
After testing the problem several times, there are some findings:-
Finding (A):-
(a) for the success of direct printing of pdf file, a physical path must be provided; we have tried 2 methods:
1) using drag & drop to copy the pdf file directly to the browser
2) open pdf file in the browser directly using browser menu-->File-->Open.
(b) for the failure of direct printing, a virtual path is involved and we have also tried 2 methods:
1) when web.show_document() is used
2) enter the url to the URL bar of the browser,
eg. http://appsvr.com:7777/report/test_printout/APPSVR1094707.rrpa (this is a virtual path/url)
Finding (B):-
(a)when the physical path is used, a temporary pdf file is generated in the same directory where the rrpa file exists in the application server,
e.g. in application server: d:/printout/yyy.pdf is generated for d:/printout/xxx.rrpa when direct print occurs
(b) however when the virtual path is used, there is no such temp "pdf" file generated and direct print failed.
May be when virtual path is used, orarrp utility don't know where to generate the temp "pdf" so direct print doesn't occur.
So, anyone has similar experience or further queries or has solutions, please join.
Thanks for your attention.

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
*   DEST     =

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 PDF report directly to a network printer (dot matrix)

Dear All,
I have a report of PDF output generated from an XML Report..
Can I print this PDF report directly to the network printer (dot matrix), by default, like a normal text report output.
If yes, how can I make this possible...
Please update...

Hi,
Yes u can do that ,first setup the printer on the o/s and refer below documents

Unable to print PDF reports on laser printer?

Hi
Our requirement is to print the PDF reports directly on the laser printer after submitting through concurrent requests. We have configured the local printer attached to the user, installed printer as network printer on IBM AIX server and configured the printer configuration in ERP instance. Whenever, we print garbage is printing. Then came across this metalink document (How To Print XML Publisher PDF Reports From The Concurrent Manager [ID 338990.1]). According this document, i have downloaded PDF converter 'xpdf' through this link http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf.
As far as i know, extracting the xpdf.tar file itself will install this software. Modified and un-commented this line pasta_pdf.cfg file with 'preprocess=pdftops {infile} {outfile}' command. Still the printer is printing garbage.
How to verify that XPDF is installed properly or not?
Regards

I think that means tool is either not installed or not in path:-
"The Xpdf language support packages include CMap files, text encodings, and various other configuration information necessary or useful for specific character sets. (They do not include any fonts.) Any or all of these can be installed by simply unpacking the tar file and adding a few lines to your xpdfrc configuration file (see the README file inside each package for details).
have you seen what needs to be changed in xpdfrc configuration file?
Thanks,
JD

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
Dim da As New WOLockOutSubReportDataSetTableAdapters.wolockTableAdapter
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,
Stacy

Error in Printing Crystal Report Directly to Printer using SDK Code

Hello ,
I am trying to print a crystal report created in SAP Crystal Reports 2008 through SDk Code using one parameter
as (Document Number).But While running the Code the Report is not getting printed and also the system is
not able to fetch the correct data in the report using the supplied parameter .

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
Jehanzeb

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.

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.

How to print the report directly without previewing (report viewer) using c# windows application

Hi,
Currently, we are using crystal report to all of our reporting applications, but since I/users have encountered some issues about CR's speed to load only a simple report, maybe it is now time for us to adopt a new reporting environment in which I think SSRS
can fill this problem.
To start with, I have here a sample code, that uses the crystal report to print the report directly without previewing:
csCashInvoiceCal csCashCal; --Crystal report name .rpt
dsCsReceipt dsCs; --created dataset
DataTable u;
DataRow s;
private System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument printDocument1;
private System.Windows.Forms.PrintDialog printDialog1;
ParameterValues paramValue;
ParameterDiscreteValue discreteValue;
ParameterFieldDefinition fieldDefinition;
private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
loadReceipt2();
print2();
csCashCal.Close();
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
private void loadReceipt2()
dsCs = new dsCsReceipt(); --created dataset
u = dsCs.Tables.Add("DtCsReceipt");
u.Columns.Add("Qty", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("UOM", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Description", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("UnitPrice", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Discount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
u.Columns.Add("Amount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
try
for (int i = 0; i < dgvDesc.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
s = u.NewRow(); double.TryParse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Discount2.Name].Value.ToString(), out discount);
s["Qty"] = double.Parse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Qty.Name].Value.ToString());
s["UOM"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Uom2.Name].Value.ToString();
s["Description"] = invcode + dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Description.Name].Value.ToString();
s["UnitPrice"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[UnitPrice.Name].Value.ToString();
if (discount != 0)
s["Discount"] = "(" + string.Format("{0:0.##}", discount) + "%)";
else
s["Discount"] = "";
s["Amount"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Amount2.Name].Value.ToString();
u.Rows.Add(s);
catch (Exception) { }
csCashCal = new csCashInvoiceCal();
csCashCal.SetDataSource(dsCs.Tables[1]);
//csCashCal.Refresh();
loadParameter2();

This is only a simple sales receipt application that uses dgv and textboxes to push its data to dataset to the crystal report, a simple one but there are instances that it is very slow.
But I'm having trouble implementing this using SSRS, since I'm only new to this one, wherein I created the report using report wizard, with two button options inside the form for print preview or direct print selection. Actually, it is very easy to implement
with print preview because it uses reportviewer. My problem is that how can I print the report directly without using a reportviewer?
So here is my code so far which I don't know what's next:
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;
loadReceipt3();
//print3();
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
ReportParameter[] parameter = new ReportParameter[11];
private void loadParameter3()
parameter[0] = new ReportParameter("InvoiceNo", txtcsno.Text);
parameter[1] = new ReportParameter("Date", date);
parameter[2] = new ReportParameter("CustomerTin", txtTin.Text);
parameter[3] = new ReportParameter("CustomerName", txtNameTo.Text);
parameter[4] = new ReportParameter("CustomerAddress", txtAdd.Text);
parameter[5] = new ReportParameter("Agent", agent);
parameter[6] = new ReportParameter("Discount", "Discount: ");
parameter[7] = new ReportParameter("TotalDiscount", lblDiscount.Text + "%");
parameter[8] = new ReportParameter("TotalSales", rdtotal);
parameter[9] = new ReportParameter("Tax", rdtax);
parameter[10] = new ReportParameter("TotalAmount", rdnet);
private void loadReceipt3()
DataSet dsrs = new DataSet();
DataTable dtrs = new DataTable();
DataRow drs;
dtrs.Columns.Add("Qty", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("UOM", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Description", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("UnitPrice", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Discount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
dtrs.Columns.Add("Amount", Type.GetType("System.String"));
try
for (int i = 0; i < dgvDesc.Rows.Count - 1; i++)
drs = dtrs.NewRow();
drs["Qty"] = double.Parse(dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Qty.Name].Value.ToString());
drs["UOM"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Uom2.Name].Value.ToString();
drs["Description"] = invcode + dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Description.Name].Value.ToString();
drs["UnitPrice"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[UnitPrice.Name].Value.ToString();
if (discount != 0)
drs["Discount"] = "(" + string.Format("{0:0.##}", discount) + "%)";
else
drs["Discount"] = "";
drs["Amount"] = dgvDesc.Rows[i].Cells[Amount2.Name].Value.ToString();
dtrs.Rows.Add(s);
catch (Exception) { }
int addtlRow = 7;
if (addtlRow > (count - 1))
addtlRow = addtlRow - (count - 1);
for (int i = 0; i < addtlRow; i++)
dtrs.Rows.Add();
loadParameter3();
LocalReport localreport = new LocalReport();
localreport.SetParameters(parameter);
localreport.DataSources.Clear();
localreport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("dsSalesReceiptSsrs", dtrs));
localreport.Refresh();
//what's next....
So what's next after local..refresh()? Actually, I have googled a lot but I didn't found the exact solution that I'm looking for which confuses me a lot.
Anyway I'm using VS 2010 with sql server 2012 express.
You're help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Hardz

After some further studies with ReportViewer controls and with the use of this tutorial @ : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252091.aspx, which helps me a lot on how to print a report without using a report viewer, I found out what is missing
with my code above and helps solve my question.
Here's the continuation of the code above:
private void loadReceipt3()
loadParameter3();
LocalReport localreport = new LocalReport();
localreport.ReportPath = @"..\..\SsrsCashReceipt.rdlc";
localreport.SetParameters(parameter);
localreport.DataSources.Clear();
localreport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("dsSalesReceiptSsrs", dtrs));
Export(localreport);
print4();
private IList<Stream> m_streams;
private int m_currentPageIndex;
private void Export(LocalReport report)
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>";
Warning[] warnings;
m_streams = new List<Stream>();
report.Render("Image", deviceInfo, CreateStream,
out warnings);
foreach (Stream stream in m_streams)
stream.Position = 0;
private void print4()
if (m_streams == null || m_streams.Count == 0)
throw new Exception("Error: no stream to print.");
PrintDocument printDoc = new PrintDocument();
PrintDialog printDlg = new PrintDialog();
printDlg.Document = printDoc;
DialogResult dr = printDlg.ShowDialog();
if (dr == DialogResult.OK)
if (!printDoc.PrinterSettings.IsValid)
throw new Exception("Error: cannot find the default printer.");
else
printDoc.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(PrintPage);
m_currentPageIndex = 0;
printDoc.Print();
Dispose();
public void Dispose()
if (m_streams != null)
foreach (Stream stream in m_streams)
stream.Close();
m_streams = null;
private Stream CreateStream(string name, string fileNameExtension, Encoding encoding, string mimeType, bool willSeek)
Stream stream = new FileStream(name + "." + fileNameExtension,
FileMode.Create);
m_streams.Add(stream);
return stream;
private void PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs ev)
Metafile pageImage = new
Metafile(m_streams[m_currentPageIndex]);
// Adjust rectangular area with printer margins.
Rectangle adjustedRect = new Rectangle(
ev.PageBounds.Left - (int)ev.PageSettings.HardMarginX,
ev.PageBounds.Top - (int)ev.PageSettings.HardMarginY,
ev.PageBounds.Width,
ev.PageBounds.Height);
// Draw a white background for the report
ev.Graphics.FillRectangle(Brushes.White, adjustedRect);
// Draw the report content
ev.Graphics.DrawImage(pageImage, adjustedRect);
// Prepare for the next page. Make sure we haven't hit the end.
m_currentPageIndex++;
ev.HasMorePages = (m_currentPageIndex < m_streams.Count);
Thank you very much for this wonderful tutorial. :)

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
Ahon

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;
