send report in printer from AL

Hi, do you want to print directly? The method mentioned by Umesh still requires opening the report in a browser and cannot print it directly.

You can try Universal Print.

More details:

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

send report in printer from AL

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, you can use AL (Application Language) to send a report to a printer by using the REPORT.RUNMODAL function. Below is a basic example:

// Codeunit example

procedure SendReportToPrinter()
var
ReportRunRequest: Record "Report Run Request";
begin
// Initialize the Report Run Request record
ReportRunRequest.SETRANGE("User ID", UserId);

// Specify the Report ID you want to print
ReportRunRequest."Report ID" := 'YourReportID';

// Optionally, set other parameters like filters
// ReportRunRequest.SETFILTER("Field Name", 'Filter Value');

// Run the report and send it to the printer
IF ReportRunRequest.INSERT THEN
REPORT.RUNMODAL(ReportRunRequest);
end;

In this example, replace 'YourReportID' with the actual Report ID you want to print. You can find the Report ID in the Object Designer in Business Central.
