Unable to print the reports from Transaction iViews

Hi Experts,
We have configured SAP Transctions iViews in portal. These transactions are basically of reports, when we want to print the report from EP. When clicking on the Print from the Transaction iView we are getting the error "File does not begin with '%PDF".
iView launches in HTML Gui.
When we launch the same report from ECC directly login with GUI we are able to take the print.
Is there any settings need to be maintain in "FRONTEND_PRINT" service.
Thanks
Murthy

Hi,
Check the note Note 1042424 - Printing in WebGUI: Error "File does not begin with '%PDF-'"
This should help resolve the problem.
Cheers-

Unable to print the report after SP2 (CR 2008 / VS 2008)?

I'm developing an ASP.NET application using VS 2008 (Framework 3.5). I have installed CR 2008 with SP (0, 1, and 2).
I created an invoice report and I printed it as test for the report and it works okay. I needed to change the page size of the report to a user defined size and reset all of the margins to zero.
After I did that I was unable to print the report again and every time I tried to print the report nothing gets printed.
I checked my environment to find the cause of this problem but I found nothing except that I'm using CR runtime for SP1 and I'm currently using SP2. So I did remove CR runtime for SP1 and install CR runtime for SP2.
The problem didn't go away and I faced one more problem.
Usually I'm using a dataset as a data source for my reports. After installing the CR runtime for SP2 I couldn't see any date column in my report data source (Dataset). All other types of columns appear except date fields! Why I have no Idea?
After I do some more testing regarding my issue I found out the following
1. When I add a new report to my web application and I don't change the page setting the report work fine.
2. When I change the page setup settings (Page Margins, horizontal width and vertical height) the report show up okay but never gets printed.
Why I don't know?
Addition to that the report dataset (Data Source) showing in the field explorer never shows any date type field?
All of the above issues happened with me after installing SP2.
OS: WindowsXP Pro SP3
CR 2008 (SP 0, 1, 2)
VS 2008 SP1
Please I need your help.

Hi, Sami;
Are you printing from the Crystal preview window, or in code?
If you are printing from the preview window, try printing via code, such as:
An example of print to printer:
crReportDocument = New ReportDocument
crReportDocument.Load("h:\labels2.rpt")
''Use error handling in case an error occurs
Try
''Set the printer name to print the report to. By default the sample
''report does not have a defult printer specified. This will tell the
''engine to use the specified printer to print the report. Print out
''a test page (from Printer properties) to get the correct value.
crReportDocument.PrintOptions.PrinterName = "
dwcb12003\ZDesigner ZM400 200 dpi (ZPL)"
''Start the printing process. Provide details of the print job
''using the arguments.
crReportDocument.PrintToPrinter(1, True, 1, 1)
Please post your question about the dataset as a new post.
Regards,
Jonathan

Unable to print the report in second page

Hi,
I've got a problem in the report. Here In a report, I'm able to print the report's data in the first page only. I'm unable to print it in the second page,third page etc.
To rectify the problem, I've selected all the fields and set their property "Print Object on" to All pages. Still the problem exists.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

What exactly do you mean by 'unable' ? Do you only get a 1 page report, OR do you get multiple pages with the 2nd, 3rd blank OR do the 2nd, 3rd have text but not data OR something else?
"Print Object On" should be "First Page" - it sounds wrong but it's talking about logical pages (which may be multiple physical pages).

Unable to link the report from an application

Hi,
I have java application. There is link in one of Pages of application.
When user clicks on the link, it opens up WebIReport ( there is only 1 report, XI 3.1 ). I don't want user to enter his username and passwd again ( we get prompt for username and passwd when we try to login to infoview ).
Can anyone send me the code for that ?
I tried with my code, but its not working.

From what I understand, you have a custom application that is viewing a webi document that links to a webi document using an opendocument URL. You will either have to have SSO setup for opendocument or pass a token in the URL that can be used to authenticate.
Since the link is part of the Webi report, you probably can't modify that URL at runtime to include a token. Your best option is to make the URL in the report point to a custom page that can create a token and a opendocument URL based on the rest of the parameters that you are passing in the URL.

I have an officejet 6500 E709 series printer.
I was wondering if there is a way to have it stop printing the report prior to my page printing. it is wasting alot of ink. Thanks

I think the printer doesn't do this on its own... which OS and apps are you using?

Printing oracle report from oracle forms

At our place, our clinet machines are upgraded to IE8 (Internet explorer 8), and some users are having probelms when they print pdf reports from IE8. If they save pdf report on computer and use adobe acrobat reader, then they can print, but when they hit print button on the IE8 they are unable to rpint.
Please advise why some users cannot print pdf reports from IE8. Thanks

Hi,
has anyone managed to resolve this yet?
seems as though some sort of impersonation mechanism is necessary for the machine running the reports server to identify to the printer as the client username running the report..
i do know it's possible to pass to the rep server a parameter called "authid",
so if for example i run the following -
http://<server>/reports/rwservlet?report=test.rdf&authid=rsorero&userid=bla/bla@bla&server=repsrv&destype=PRINTER&desname=\\printsrv1\myprinter1&desformat=PDF
then in the report server queue (showjobs) i get the owner as "rsorero" instead of "ANONYMOUS"..
but that doesn't translate to an OS user on the server side, and the print is still owned by [server]$..
any insights?

Print the report on page has width larger than height and not landscape mode

Hi,
I'm trying to print report on page (Width: 18cm, Height: 13cm) which the width larger than the height.
The problem is windows keeps changing the page oreintation to landscape and when I change it back to portrait its changing the width to 13cm and height to 18cm.
I'm using dot matrix printer to print the report, if i put Landscape , printer is printing the text in horizontal.
Already i have tried to setup the custom for on printer, and used custom page size but it is changing to landscape.
I need to print the report with out preview, direct print top printer, NO PDF....
Thank you .....

Hi Anil,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. When I set (Width: 18cm, Height: 13cm) as the Report Page size, it would automatically convert Orientation from Portrait to Landscape. Because the Orientation displayed is dependent on the page
width and page height of the report.
But in my scenario, the Orientation option just change the Width and Height sizes, it couldn’t affect the text rotation. I guess this issue can be caused by the printer and printer driver, please try to update them. Reference:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15244336/printing-in-landscape-or-portrait-automatically-rotates-text-ssrs?lq=1
Hope this helps.

Print a report from Application Express direct to a CUPS Printer

Hi all, I'm new to this technology, is it possible to print a report from Application Express directly to a CUPS Printer? Can someone tell me in laymans terms how to do it? I find the terminology and documentation less than helpful.

Jeremy,
BI Publisher handles submitting reports directly to a CUPS printer. However, the APEX integration doesn't currently integrate with that portion of BI Publisher.
Here's an options:
Use the Java API of BI Publisher to build a custom Java program that would do this for you. Delivering to CUPS is part of the Java API.

Print Message Report from Mobile

I haven't really done much enhancements on MAM 2.5, but Im sure sami will let you know where to add the code, or you can review the MAM enhancement guide on the CD.
In regards to printing the PIOS API is pretty simple. If you are using a laptop to print to a normal printer then you can just use the Win32 Drivers..(installed via driver addon from web sap console.)If you are using the handheld you will need to find the appropriate drivers.
Here is some code I used in one of my applications:
 Connector conn = Connector.getInstance();
 DriverInfo[] driverInfo = conn.listDrivers(ConnectionType.PRINTER);
 PrinterParameters params = new PrinterParameters(driverInfo[0]);
 params.setPrinterMode(PrinterParameters.GRAPHIC_MODE);
 GraphicPrinter gp = (GraphicPrinter) conn.open(params);
 File myImage = new File("c:
smalllogo.bmp");
 if (myImage.exists()) {
 float x = 0;
 float y = 50;
 try {
 String[] sFonts =
 gp.getFontConfigurationManager().listFontNames();
 PrinterFont pf = gp.getFont(sFonts[0]);
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 25,
 "TO For Delivery # = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(arrayItems[0], "VBELN"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 for (i = 0; i < arrayItems.length; i++) {
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 y,
 "Delivery Item # = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
 arrayItems,
 "POSNR"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 y = y + 10;
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 y,
 "Material # = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
 arrayItems,
 "MATNR"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 y = y + 10;
 gp.drawText(
 pf,
 25,
 y,
 "Quantity to Pick = "
 + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
 arrayItems,
 "LFIMG"),
 GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
 y = y + 25;
 gp.doPrint(1);
 gp.close();
 } catch (Throwable tFile) {
 tFile.printStackTrace();
 }
This should give you an idea, you should also read through the MDK documentation for the printer API (PIOS). Its quite easy to pick up and as long as you have the driver and connector installed it prints right away.(You could also use the Peripheral emulator in
NWDS to test the code first)
Hope this helps,
Wael..
