Hi seniors,

I have a requirement of sending salesInvoice report directly to a network managed printer if a custom flag is yes. I do not want to do it using print management as print management is already being used for email.

I have done code in the controller class of salesInvoice report. Below is my code.
Note: OutputType is a custom toggle field.

[ExtensionOf(classStr(SalesInvoiceController))]
internal final class SalesInvoiceController_Class_Extension
{
    static void PrintSalesInvoiceReportToPrinter(Args _args)
    {
        SRSPrintDestinationSettings     settings;
        SalesTable                      salesTable;
        SysCorpNetPrinters              sysCoprNetPrinters;
        CustInvoiceJour                 custInvoiceJour;

        SrsReportRunController          controller = new SrsReportRunController();
        SalesInvoiceContract            salesInvoiceContract = new SalesInvoiceContract();;
        
 
        controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(SalesInvoice, Report));
        controller.parmShowDialog(false);
        controller.parmArgs(_args);
        
        custInvoiceJour = _args.record();

        select firstonly OutputType from salesTable
            where salesTable.SalesId == custInvoiceJour.SalesId;

        select firstonly PrinterName, PrinterPath from sysCoprNetPrinters
            where sysCoprNetPrinters.Active == NoYesCombo::Yes;

        if(salesTable.OutputType == "PDF" && sysCoprNetPrinters.PrinterName)
        {
            // Change print settings as needed
            settings = controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();
            settings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::Printer);
            settings.printerName(sysCoprNetPrinters.printerName);
            settings.printerWhere(sysCoprNetPrinters.PrinterPath);
            settings.numberOfCopies(1);
            settings.printAllPages(true);
            
            salesInvoiceContract.parmRecordId(custInvoiceJour.RecId);
            controller.parmReportContract().parmRdpContract(salesInvoiceContract);

            // Execute the report
            controller.startOperation();
        }
    }

    public static void main(Args _args)
    {

        if(_args.record())
        {
            SalesInvoiceController::PrintSalesInvoiceReportToPrinter(_args);
        }

        next main(_args);
    }
}

My code is running fine and I have also configured Document routing agent. But the issue is that the report is printing only one page but when on screen the report is of 2 pages. Also, I have noticed some difference between when I print using code (prints 1 page and some text missing on paper) and when I manually print the report (print 2 pages and exact same texts on paper) using the print option on a browser. I have already tried the following things but no luck.

srsPrintDestinationSettings.collate(false);
srsPrintDestinationSettings.printOnBothSides(SRSReportDuplexPrintingSetting::None);
srsPrintDestinationSettings.printAllPages(true);
srsPrintDestinationSettings.fromPage(0);
srsPrintDestinationSettings.toPage(0);

Can anyone suggest if I am doing the code in correct place/method/class. Do I need to do something more as well?
