    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.

    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:
    Print directly to local printers with Universal Print
    Set Up Universal Print Printers
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.
