Hi I have writen code for to print to pdf so i am stuck in printing to printer directly here is the code i have written

private void addToQueue(container _licensePlates)
{
int conLength, cnt;
WHSLicensePlateParent licensePlateID;
WHSWorkMHUSummary_env wHSWorkMHUSummary_buffer;
SrsReportRunController controller;
SRSPrintDestinationSettings settings;
str filePath = @'C:\MHUSummary';
str fileNameWithoutExt;
#File

conLength = conLen(_licensePlates);

for(cnt = 1; cnt <= conLength; cnt++)
{
delete_from wHSWorkMHUSummary_buffer;
controller = new SrsReportRunController();

licensePlateID = conPeek(_licensePlates, cnt);
// call the report for this context license plate
// step 1 - create records in WHSWorkMHUSummary_env table
if(licensePlateID)
{
this.insertReportTable(licensePlateID);
/*
wHSWorkMHUSummary_buffer.LicensePlateId = licensePlateID;
wHSWorkMHUSummary_buffer.Description = "Test" + int2str(cnt);
wHSWorkMHUSummary_buffer.insert();
*/

controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(WHSMHUSummaryReport_env, Report));
controller.parmShowDialog(false);
controller.parmLoadFromSysLastValue(false);

settings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();
settings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File);
settings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);
//fileNameWithoutExt = int2str(cnt);
fileNameWithoutExt = licensePlateID;
settings.fileName(filePath + #FilePathDelimiter + fileNameWithoutExt + 'pdf');

controller.startOperation();
}
controller = null;
}
}

    Hi Chay,

    Here is the working code for me,

    static void JobSendToPDFInvoice(Args _args)

    {

       SrsReportRunController          controller = new SrsReportRunController();

       SRSPrintDestinationSettings     settings;

       CustInvoiceJour                 custInvoiceJour = CustInvoiceJour::findRecId(xxxxxxxxxx);

       SalesInvoiceContract            salesInvoiceContract = new SalesInvoiceContract();

       Args                            args = new Args();

       controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(SalesInvoice, Report));

       controller.parmExecutionMode(SysOperationExecutionMode::Synchronous);

       controller.parmShowDialog(false);

       salesInvoiceContract.parmRecordId(custInvoiceJour.RecId);

       salesInvoiceContract.parmDocumentTitle(CustInvoiceJour.InvoiceId);

       salesInvoiceContract.parmCountryRegionISOCode(SysCountryRegionCode::countryInfo());

       // (1) Try by passing args

       args.record(custInvoiceJour);

       args.parmEnum(PrintCopyOriginal::Original);

       args.parmEnumType(enumNum(PrintCopyOriginal));

       controller.parmReportContract().parmRdpContract(salesInvoiceContract);    

       controller.parmArgs(args);

       // (2) Try explicitly preventing loading from last value

       // controller.parmLoadFromSysLastValue(false);

       // Change print settings as needed

       settings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();

       settings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File);

       settings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);

       settings.overwriteFile(true);

       settings.fileName(@'C:\Temp\Invoice.pdf');

       controller.startOperation();

    }

    I'm pretty sure that printing to printer is possible in AX, so it's more likely the problem is in your code.

    If you forgot to set the medium, there is a chance that you forgot other parameters as well. For example, are you setting a printer name of file format and file name?

    if needed, show us your updated code. Also try removing pieces of code not related to your question.

    When you say it hangs, what processes can you see on SQL Server? You can run the sp_axwho stored procedure on your AX database to check running statements, maybe it is trying to gather your data?

    Take a look on where does it "hang" if you try to debug the process. If you run it in IL or in a batch, make sure you try to debug it using Visual Studio, where you attach the debugger to the AX AOS process in a Dev/Test environment.

    Maybe your loop is wrong, we cannot test your code since you have custom methods in there like insertReportTable. I am afraid you need to troubleshoot this using the tools provided by AX for resolving such issues.

    I did the same what you said it's hanging up ax so I think it's not working for that code can you check whether I need to change the code

    If you want to print a report to printer, use SRSPrintMediumType::Printer.

    SRSPrintMediumType::File prints to file, not to printer.
