Urgent..blank report on network printer

Dear All,
i've a report which print direct to a network printer i specify the full network path in DESNAME where destype = printer but the paper in the printer move but nothing is printed.
when i let destype=screen and specify the network printer from normal dialog it prints fine..
more question how can i know that the report server has access to that printer
i'm using REPORTS 6i
please help

If it was that urgent I would have supplied some more information. One very, very, very important fact to know is whether it's Client/Server or Webbased reports, don't you think?
Have you been on the Reports Home page yet?
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports
There're tons of good white papers there, including one regarding printing on the net.
Also this search on Metalink gives me lots of usuful documents: reports 'network printer'
Regards,
Martin

  • Unable print scheduled report on network printer using BOEXI 3.0

    Hi,
    I'm unable to print a scheduled report on network printer using BOE XI 3.0. I get the following error
    Error Message: Error in File ~ce6a054be1a25b52.rpt: Request cancelled by the user. ]
    Has anyone encountered this kind of problem and know what the solution is?
    Thanks,

    Hey Falk,
    Thanks for the response.
    I can print on a network printer after I changed 'Crystal Reports Job Server' to run under a user account that has privileges to access the printer.
    To answer your questions regarding the problem:
    >Can you schedule the report successfully ?
    >>Yes I was able to schedule the report successfully
    >Can you print the report successfully?
    >>NO the scheduled task would fail with the error message as posted above.
    Thanks,

  • Schedule CR reports to network printer

    Hi,
    I would like to schedule a Crystal Report 2008 to a network printer as destination; we are using BOE XI 3.1 server.
    In the destination settings of the CrystalReportsJobServer I only can select FTP and E-Mail.
    Is my undertaking possible without using the SDK?
    Thanks!

    Oh yes, I can see at "Print Settings" that I can specify a printer ("Set layout to: Specify printer settings"). However, I can't specify a printer in the "Destination" settings. So I can't do a scheduling, after my opinion?

  • Gnome 3 reports a network printer as "not connected",but prints fine

    Hi,
    I got the same problem mentioned here as "Other issue": https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119248
    When I print on my network printer it always says "printer is not connected" at first (popup in gnome shell) but then it prints fine.
    I think it has something to do with CUPS or some settings of the network card (inside the Kyocera FS-1020D) -> I have disabled the whole apple things like Bonjour etcpp.
    In the mentioned thread there are several perople reporting this issue - did anyone solve it?

    bones wrote:No such warning when I logged into other desktop environments.
    That's intresting .. maybe it is a gnome bug? I am also using Gnome 3.2.

  • Problem running reports to network printer

    Application Server Enterprise Edition 10g (9.0.4.1)
    Customer is having some difficulty printing reports to printers attached to client PCs and shared on the network. Occasionally, when a report is requested by the application with DESTYPE=PRINTER, DESFORMAT=DFLT and DESNAME=\\<PC>\<server share>, the status of the report remains "Opening report" and it never completes and cannot be removed. The report server (and dependent services) must be restarted to free the engine. The report is requested from a Forms application via a Report object.
    Here's detail from the Report Server engine trace file (traceOpts=trace_all):
    Debug 50103 (EngineImpl:setCommandLine): Running
    Info 50132 (EngineImpl:setCommandLine): Get command line: userid="ELSIEM paramform="NO" jobname="flysheet.rep" p_cov_effdt="20030315" desname="\\oldmelishal155\wc_hp4" p_rcvd_dt="" p_carrid="24724" p_ar_amt="" authid="ANONYMOUS" destype="printer" p_type="POL" batch="YES" p_ar_code="" report="flysheet.rep" background="yes" expiredays="0" desformat="DFLT" p_polnbr="08WC001094"

    Error 50103 (rwfdt:rwfdtgcf_GenCachefile): quit
    Error 50103 (rwfdt:rwfdtprint): caching output from backend drivers
    The last line appears to be the culprit. It seems as if the engine is attempting to communicate with the printer but failing. While this report was still "active" another request was made about 3 hours later that printed without issue.
    The printer's host OS is XP. The printer is a HP LaserJet 5si with up-to-date drivers (PCL 5e).
    Are there any specific issues with HP printers? Any ideas how to proceed with this problem? I've search high and low on Metalink and have not seen anything like this. I'd appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Robert Glossip

  • REP-1849: Failed while printing : Problem while printing on network printer

    I am getting this error message while printing the report on Network Printer.
    "REP-1849: Failed while printing"
    Reports Server is not installed on my machine.
    On shared printer, it has no problems.
    Platform is Win2000. Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3
    Plz help !
    Thanks in advance !

    Try the following if your printer is a network printer
    1. Add Printers - select Local Printer
    2. In the Add Printer wizard, select "create a new port" option and select "TCP/IP" as type
    3. Write the IP address of the network printer in the "Add standard TCP/IP Printer Port wizard". The port name becomes IP_<ip addr>. Click Next.
    4. Select the printer and printer type in "Add Printer" wizard.
    5. Select a driver and Write a printer name. This completes the setup. Use this printer name to print from Oracle reports.
    Hope this helps..

  • Printing larger rows in blank report

    I have a training log that managers can print out when holding training. There is a pre-populated one that fills out spots for current employees and adds blanks at the end and one that is completely blank. On the pre-populated one, I can alter the size of the text and corresponding lines just fine by altering the style of the text. The same technique does not work for the blank report. The managers want to have more room on the blank log, as the default size isn't large enough for many people to fill out.
    Here's the query I'm using:
    WORKS
    select EMP_ID, EMP_LNAME, EMP_FNAME, NULL as DT, NULL as SIGNATURE
      from EMPLOYEES
    where ORG_ID = :P1727_ORG_ID
       and ACTIVE = 1
    union all
    select NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
    from dual
    connect by rownum <= :P1727_BLANKSDOESN'T WORK
    select NULL as EMP_ID, NULL as EMP_LNAME, NULL as EMP_FNAME
         , NULL as DT, NULL as SIGNATURE
    from dual
    connect by rownum <= :P1727_BLANKSand the stylesheet:
    <style>
    #EMP_ID      {width: 60px;
            font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:1em;}
    #EMP_LNAME   {width:120px}
    #EMP_FNAME   {width: 80px}
    #DT          {width:120px}
    #SIGNATURE   {width:320px}
    </style>I have tried selecting a no-breaking space for a column value instead of a null and no change. I even tried renaming all the columns and creating a new set of styles for the second report - no change. I can't find a table attribute that allows me to statically set the height of the row - it seems to be based on content. Any suggestions?

    Use a print media style sheet and specify the dimensions using a physical unit.
    Give the blank form report a static region ID for use in CSS selectors (e.g. <tt>blank-form</tt>), and a style sheet like:
    <style type="text/css" media="print">
      .report-table is class from report template
    #blank-form .report-table tr {
      min-height: 1cm;
      height: 1cm; /* for IE quirks mode */
    #blank-form #EMP_ID {
      width: 2cm;
    #blank-form #EMP_FNAME,
    #blank-form #EMP_LNAME {
      width: 5cm;
    #blank-form #DT {
      width: 3cm;
    #blank-form #SIGNATURE {
      width: 7cm;
    </style>Also use non-breaking spaces as previously suggested.

  • How to print a report on local/network printer(Sample Code)

    Hi forms Gurus,
    I'm looking for sample code witch allow to print report on local/network printer from Forms builder.
    Plz help! it's very important.
    TYAG.

    Armand,
    for Forms and Reports 9i, the only chance is to configure the printer as a network printer that is accessible to the Reports Server. In this case pass the printer's network name as desname and destype=printer as the Reports destination (e.g. desname=\network\printername destype=printer).
    Alterantively, there exist an unsupported utility orarrp that you can get from the otn.oracle.com/products/forms web page.

  • Error trying to print report to both pdf and network printer

    Hi all,
    When trying to print a report to my network printer or to pdf I get the two errors attached, one right after the other.  The resulting pdf or hard copy has almost everything in it, except for three tables which are completely missing.  When I go back into the report and open the page with the missing table, the table is no longer visible in the report and I get the second error again.  Exiting and restarting diadem brings the tables back.
    I've found several threads about pdf and other print errors and tried the solutions there to no avail; specifically the one posted here.
    I hope there is a fix to this!  These reports are intended to sell management on diadem! Thanks!

  • How i can define network printer to report that can use it

    hi all
    i want to define network printer to the report
    and the format of the printer full name and its port ?
    another question
    when i use the local printer it print but there are web opened and contain uncertain
    letters
    i want this web to be closed

    Hi John
    Thanks for replying,
    My current setup is this, my non apple router is accessed wirelessly by all my computers, ie imac, mac mini and macbook pro, ipad & iphones for internet.
    My printer is in another room so therefore I cannot connect the AEBS (airport extreme base station) with an ethernet cable (I have intially in order to update the firmware and other updates) so in following the attached guidelines are you saying that I have to have the AEBS connected with the ethernet cable to the router?
    I was hoping to wirelessly connect.
    The wish is that all my devices can print wirelessly
    What has happened though is that I can access the AEBS wirelessly, but it has disabled me from my router so I cannot connect to the internet neither to that network
    Any other advice
    Thanks
