Print SSRS report directly to the printer

I have been trying to figure out how to set the printer name so that it will show up in the Print destination dialog. I am using the this code to set the medium type and the printer name

xPrintSettings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::Printer);

xPrintSettings.printerName(strFmt('@"%1"',xPrinterName));

It picks up the Print Medium type but will not pick up the printer name when I do a SrsReportRunUtil::showSettingsDialog(xPrintSettings). Eventually I will want to print directly to the printer, but I am trying to make sure it is picking up the printer name correctly first. Currently it appears to picking up the default printer which in my case is fax. Can some one please give me an example of how to set the printer name?

Thank you

Hi Adney,

Check printerMap() method of SRSPrintDestinationSettingsForm form, it returns names of all available printers, so just use one of them.

I know the name of the printer. What I am trying to do is direct a printout to printer that is stored in a table associated with the user id. I can set the print medium type, but I can't set the printer name. The printer is installed locally to the server and appears in the list when the show settings dialog is displayed. The default has been set to a different printer and when I try to change the printer it changes to FAX.

This is what the print settings look like before I set the printer name

I put the code in to change the printer name parmPrintJobSettings().printerName(strFmt(@'PRTIT01'));, which is the same printer that is set to, and the settings look like this

If you know the printer name, why can't I set it.

Thank you
