Send Report Directly To Printer Without using ORARRP?

Is their any other way to send report output directlly to printer from reports 10g running on Oracle IAS 10g without use of Orarrp?
I am asking this question because of some non-support issue with Orarrp mentioned by Oracle in documents.
Looking for yours help on this topic.
Thanks

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)

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • Cannot send report directly to printer

    Hi,
    we are installing new canon printers (irc2380's) and we are having difficulty getting the reports to the printer.
    If i send the output of the report as a file to the application server(solaris) and then print using an lp command then the report prints fine, however if we try to send the output directly to the printer, the report server thinks it has been successfull but nothing appears on the printer.
    We are using run_report_object, have tried looking at the ppd files but cannot get any to work, canon do not seem to have any specific for unix.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    If the Reports Version is >= 9.0.2 , an output file has been generated in the Reports Server cache ($ORACLE_HOME/reports/cache by default)
    and this file is sent to the printer with the script rwlpr.sh (in $ORACLE_HOME/bin)
    Check the content of the file generated in the Reports cache, test to send it "manually' to the printer

  • Print report directly to printer without acknowledgement

    I'm running reports 9i.
    I can successfully print a report directly to a printer but how do I stop a window poping up displaying the "Oracle Reports Job Status"
    Thanks

    I have a very similar problem, not being able to print a report directly to the printer.
    But I am calling Crystal Reports v8.5 from VB6.  I have tried the  suggested code:
    report.PrintOut(prompt user, numberofCopy, collated, startpage, endpage)
    but get a "type mismatch" compiler error  with "PrintOut" highlighted when compiling, eventhough the inline help shows this method and matching arguments.
    I wonder if I have the correct DLL referenced.
    This report runs fine thru the preview window, but since this is a series of reports about 100 pages, don't really want the user to have to specify print dozens of times.
    Thanks,
    Gene

    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.

  • 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

    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.

    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;
