Print SSRS Report through printer

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Rhushikesh R 742

Hi Everyone, 

Using below code I am able to save PDF copy of my SSRS report.

But I want to get direct print of my PDF copy without saving it to directory.

What change shall I make in main method of Controller class?

public static void main(Args _args)
{
#define.ReportDesign("CHI_GenerateRecLabelMobReport.Report")
CHI_GenerateRecLabelMobController generateRecLabelMobController;

//
SRSPrintDestinationSettings printerSettings;
//

generateRecLabelMobController = new CHI_GenerateRecLabelMobController();

generateRecLabelMobController.parmReportName(#ReportDesign);

generateRecLabelMobController.parmArgs(_args);

generateRecLabelMobController.parmShowDialog(false);

//link the printer settings to the controller
printerSettings = generateRecLabelMobController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();
//print to pdf and always overwrite if the file exists
printerSettings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File);
printerSettings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);
printerSettings.overwriteFile(true);
printerSettings.fileName(@"C:\\test.pdf");

//run & save the report
generateRecLabelMobController.startOperation();

}

Thank you on advance.

    The SRSPrintDestinationSettings class is able to direct a physical printer, tray, etc. Be sure that the printer is available on the target machine, also check the print management setup in AX.

    Hi Martin,

    I agree with you.

    But instead of File if I write below code

    printerSettings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::Printer);

    printerSettings.printerName("123");

    generateRecLabelMobController.parmExecutionMode((SysOperationExecutionMode::Synchronous));

    Will this work?

    Or I have to make more changes?

    My requirement is if I pass Printer Name specified in

    Warehouse Management > Setup > Document Routing > Document Routing

    in my controller class then my SSRS report should get printed through that Printer.

    To print the report, use SRSPrintMediumType::Printer instead of SRSPrintMediumType::File.

    Rhushikesh,

    If you need to print it, why are you saving it as a file? Or do you need both? Can you explain the scenario?

    Theoretically, you can try to open Adobe reader using its API, load the document and print it. Or print the report twice from your coding: once for creating the pdf file and one for printing it.
