How to print SSRS report to a system default printer

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Mav

Hi Folks,

Please suggest how to do i ensure via X++ that a report prints via the system default printer only.

I know that when we print attachment , the attachment goes through docref classes & it calls Winapi to print the attachment through system default printer. How can i ensure that my srsprintdesitination settings use the same command & prints via system default printer.

Docuref class i was refering to is Docuactionfile and method is print

the code line below calls the shell which basically calls the system default printer.

  filename = this.command(#ShellExePrint, docuRef);

Thanks

Mav.

    Does Winapi:Shellexecute not work in batch job, i did not know this. Thanks for sharing.

    I was thinking how about i write a line of code to get the system default printer 1st like using command from here to get default printer and then store the printer name in a variable, then in ssrs print destination i pass this printer name to print this report. Will that be a right approach?

    Is there any way i can translate this d365 code to Ax2012, this may help in converting the attachment document from docref to a contract & then send that contract to printer .

    Intent is to to print the report & attachment from doc ref to a same printer which is not set as default printer on user system.

    So is there no way I can use #shellexeprint in srsprint destinations. If there is a way to use #shellexeprint in srsprint desitinatoon then that would ensure the report and document gets printed via same printer which is system default printer at user’s computer .

    It's a strange requirement, you can print report in a batch or from server side code, so each AOS can have it's own default printer or dont have printer at all. So I would rather set printer from code.
