Printing to specific printer and displaying report

Hi,
In Forms 10g via AS10g, I need to generate a report and print the output to a specific printer. How do I do this given that the AS Linus box cannot be mapped to various printers. The printer is also not necessarily the Client machine's default printer.
I suspect that the answer lies in using web.show_document with a html or javascript included in the url extension that directs the report to a printer. I have not been able to find out how, yet.
I would appreciate your answers
Thanks
Gnana

Hi Frank,
thank you for coming to my aid. Could you please post some code example of the html and also what do you mean by the report link and again some code will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks mate

Report in 2000 prints on specific printer but report 6i cannot! any suggestions?

Hi,
I have a computer connected to 2 parallel printers via a data switch for my POS system.
I specified the correct printer in DESNAME system parameter in the 2 reports and it was working perfectly in developer 2000.
Recently I swap to report builder 6i and now the problem is unless that printer that it is suppose to print the the windows' default printer, otherwise, the printer prints nothing!
Can any one help me to make it print? so my staff just need to switch the data switch instead of having to also change the default printer. That is very very inconvience!
Thanks

hello,
check the version of reports you are using. apply the latest patchset. if problem still persists, open a TAR with oracle support services.

CR2008 Viewer - Printing to specific printer tray

A client has multiple network printers set up to use a specific tray using the Printing Preferences > Paper/Quality > Paper Options > Source. While files printed from other applications print to the correct paper tray, Crystal Reports do not. This worked in CR XI R2 but the web application running the report now requires CR 2008. Now the report prints to the default tray set at the printer, not the Printer Preferences. Is there a way to change this behavior back to the way it was in CR XI R2?

Hi Scott,
Look for crpe32.dll in our runtime folder.
To get patched to Service Pack 3 go to this page and filter on Crystal Reports, Cr 2008. You'll find the updates to get the service packs as well as the distribution packages.
You also need to get Hot Fix 3.2 to get all of the latest printer fixes...
Thank you

OleAutomation Printing to Specific Printer Tray

Is there a way to programmatically print pdf files with Adobe Acrobat or Reader ( via OleAutomation interface ) selecting ( programmatically too ) a specific printer tray ? Thanks.

Use a printer that is set to use the desired paper tray by default.
If you are looking for dynamic switching of paper trays, one of the 3rd-party Crystal Report Managers listed at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides functionality that allows you to control the splitting of Crystal report printouts across different paper trays.

How do u input the printer output into labview and display the data?

Hi, basically when a program has done running the program prints a page of data. basically i want labview to read this data from the parallel port of the pc, display it in labview or be able to pull the data apart and put it where i want. any ideas, be much appreciated.
thanks stuart

Basically, what you need is to access the pins of your PC�s parallel port
The function that you need is located at: �Advances/ Port I/O /inport� of your function palette.
You might want to read the following documents before programming. They will help you a lot (specially if you are using WIN2000 or later OS that has a kernel stucture, you need to download the and used inport.vi of AccessHW.zip for your program to work)!

Output printing from specific printer tray

Hi,
We have a printer with each tray containing different paper, in our case it is the color. Based on the output we want to print, we want it to come out on a paper from a particular tray so that outputs of type X are on yellow, and type Y on pink etc. Can we accomplish this through printer definition within SAP or we are doomed to writing ABAP of some kind and passing commands "behind the scenes?"
Thank you,
Mike

HI
I think this would require programming to determine the tray to be used.The problem is that each printer model can have different tray selection commands that are required.Also, if the form is used across multiple areas,each area might have different models.
However,for a single printer YES,the form would have to be specific to the printer being used.

A specific Requirement in Displaying Report

Hello All,
I have following scenario in one of my reports. I try to explain it with an example.
I have a total of 20 rows appearing in a report.
(1). I have to hide every 2nd row so that total 10 rows are visible to user in the report.
(2). In these 10 rows I have to show one of the values from the one hidden & one shown column depending on whichever is greater.
I tried by Modifing the Report Template table by creating class of CL_RSR_WWW_MODIFY_TABLE and face following problems:
1. If I store the value of previous column, it resets to 0 on next value of I_X. Ques: how can I store the value so that it retains its value while comparing the Previous vale with current.
2. Which variable out of I_VALUE, I_DISPLAY_VALUE, C_CELL_CONTENT holds the actual vaule of the cell because if I see I get 0 or strange value of these variables in debug mode.
Thanks for please providing me guidance as to what step is missing so that I can proceed further.
Best Regards,
Sumita

Hi,
I didn't exactly understand your problem.
But coming to your 1st question, i guess, you need to store the value of previous column in a temporary variable in your program (class). Then compare this with your current value.
Thanks.

How to printing oracle report by specific printer name on solaris?

When running reports
-http://host/reports/rwservlet?destype=PRINTER&desname=printername&desformat=dflt.prt&report=test.rdf&userid=test/test@TEST&MODE=CHARACTER
report with destype=printer desname=printername, the report fails with REP-50159 Executed successfully but there were some errors when distribute the output
if set default printer by add PRINTER=printername export PRINTER; in uiprint.txt
it can print to printer.
i found document id 394554.1 in metalink but it can't fix problem.
https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:342229662272785964::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,394554.1,1,1,1,helvetica
To fix the problem, execute the following steps:
1. Take a backup of opmn.xml
2. Edit opmn.xml and include the path information of the new printer:
For In-process report server add the path information within <OC4J_BI_Forms>
Eg:
<process-type id="OC4J_BI_Forms" module-id="OC4J">
<environment>
<variable id="DISPLAY" value="localhost:0"/>
<variable id="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
value="D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib32:D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib"/>
<variable id="PATH" value="//printserver;D:/Oracle/product/FRHome_1/bin;................./>
</environment>
Here //printserver is the network drive where is printer is installed.
For standalone report server add the path information within <reportservername>
Eg:
<ias-component id="standalonerepsvr01" status="enabled" id-matching="false">
<process-type id="ReportsServer" module-id="ReportsServices">
<process-set id="standalonerepsvr01" restart-on-death="true" numprocs="1">

<variable id="DISPLAY" value="localhost:0"/>
<variable id="LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
value="D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib32:D:\Oracle\product\FRHome_1\lib"/>
<variable id="PATH" value="//printserver;D:/Oracle/product/FRHome_1/bin;........../>
</environment>
3. Reload opmn : opmnctl reload
4. Restart opmn: opmnctl stopall , opmnctl startall
5. Run the report with destype=printer and desname=newprintername
my config (solaris)
oracle application server release 2 (10.1.2.0.2)
i used axis printserver name is SZ_R02.

How to print a specific page from the internet

I have tried to print a specific page, and get about seven pages that are linked to it, without
seeing the specific page I wanted printed out. The page settings under printer only lists header and footer
info, and no choices to print only this page or frame. There is no way to print one specific page on this printer?
I always was able to do this with the Epson printer I just replaced, but unable to with this printer.
Please help! There must be a way to do this when printing from the internet. Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I don't have any idea what you are trying to print, nor do I wish to know. Smiling.
The key may be to control this in Print Preview like you would with most things when you are printing from a Browser.

Printing parameter values in xml report, and displaying it in header of the

Hi All,
Can anybody give me an idea to print the parameter values in the xml report.
My requirement is like, I have 10 parameters in report builder, I have generated the xml file and created the .rtf template and finally registerted in oracle apps. But now, the requirement is to print the parameter values in the report output.I don't see any xml tags in the xml output.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I think all the XML attributes can contain lexicals. If you bring up the property palette against the report object you can just set the following:
XML Tag Attributes: myParameter="&<P_1>"
where P_1 is your user parameter.

Im using the Orarrp but it pops up the printer dialog and shows the default printer. Is there any way to harcod the printer name. the printer is on the network..

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');
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,PRINTER);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(REPID,REPORT_SERVER,'test');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(REPID,REPORT_OTHER,'P_CUSREF='||:CTRL01.CUSREF||' PARAMFORM=NO');
     MESSAGE('SET REPORT PROP');
V_REP := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(REPID);
REP_STATUS := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(V_REP);
MESSAGE('RAN REPORT');
WHILE REP_STATUS IN ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') LOOP
     REP_STATUS := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(V_REP);
END LOOP;
     IF REP_STATUS = 'FINISHED' THEN
          IF NVL('TEST',' ') <> ' ' THEN
          GEN_ALERT('NULL_ALERT','TEST');
          END IF;
          ELSE
     GEN_ALERT('NULL_ALERT','Error when running report');
     END IF;
END;
what should the desformat of the report should be..when im trying to run this it gives me 'no data found' error...why???

Scheduling a report to print to a specific printer tray

I'm trying to schedule a report to print to a specific tray on a specific printer.
The SDK permits me to specify the printer, using ReportPrinterOptions, but it just seems to always print to the default tray for each printer and there are no ways, that I've found, to specify a particular paper tray to print from.
Normally this isn't an issue, but we have a client that has a special report that prints to special paper that's always available in the secondary tray of the printer.
Have I missed something obvious here? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
You didn't specify the version of Crystal Reports you're using, the version of Visual Studio you're using, or which .NET SDK you're using. Assuming you're CR XI R2 (v11.5) with VS2003/VS2005 and the CR.NET SDK (reportdocument object) then you're looking for the CustomPaperSource property off of the PrintOptions class.
You can search the forums for additional posts, but I found this one - [Setting PaperSource|Re: Setting PaperSource;. There may be others.
You can also find information in the [CR XI R2 Developer Library|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm]. Search on CustomPaperSource.
There is a tutorial available under the [PrintOptions.CustomPaperSource Property|http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/en/CrystalReports_dotNET_SDK/crsdk_net_doc/doc/crsdk_net_doc/html/crlrfCrystalDecisionsCrystalReportsEnginePrintOptionsCustomPaperSourceTopic.htm] search result.
This should get you back on track.
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher

International SSRS report printing for both A4 and Letter

I've been reading a few articles on the net about making reports either A4 or Letter and I am aware of how to change the layout of the page to be specific for either
The problem we have is that we have some users that use A4 paper, and other users that use Letter size paper.
We would ideally like the user to press the print button from the browser window (note not exported to PDF) and for the report to be printed off on their favourite printer
We have modified the layout to be the lowerst common denominator size (210mm x 279mm). When we print to our printer which uses A4 paper, it errors because the paper size is odd and needs confirmation to use A4 instead. I am making the assumption
that using a printer with Letter size has the same problem.
We do not want our users to have to deal with errors on their printer every time they try to print a report, it doesn't look good. We don't want to write 2 versions of each of our reports as that will be time consuming and a maintenance nightmare
Has anyone managed to make SSRS reports printer agnostic or at least be able to print out on either A4 or Letter without additional intervention on the printer?
Tony

Hi Tony,
What version of SSRS are you using? Are you seeing this from the Report Viewer control or Report Manager?
In my Report Manager, when I try to print a report (SSRS 2008 R2), the Layout defaults to Letter. When I look at the report (RDL) property in BIDS, the PageSize property is set to 8.5in (Width), 11in (Height), which refers to PageWidth and PageHeight respectively.
The following blog explains these properties:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bwelcker/archive/2005/08/19/alien-lanes-_2800_logical-and-physical-pagination-rules_2900_.aspx
In SSRS 2005, for the Report Viewer control, due to a VS 2005 issue, we had a situation where it would not allow custom paper size. By modifying the report page size to the exact Letter size (279.4mm = 11 inches), for example, we would be able to see the
Letter size in that situation. This should be fixed on and after SSRS 2005 SP2.
In general, after rendering a report, Reporting Services sends the height and width information to the printer driver when we try to print a report, which selects the appropriate paper type based on the report size.
In my test, when I tried to print, it chose Letter with Portrait Orientation. I was able to change it to A5 from the Print Dialog and was able to print in both ways (A5/Letter) without any error message.
Thanks,
Cathy Miller
