[WB] Printing Report on a web user printer

Hi,

Could anyone help me with printing reports on a web user printer. I tried many things and always my report is printing on my default printer (in windows). How to open window before printing?

Thanks

David

Hi David,

There are two methods of print via web.
1) HTML
2) PDF

Both methods require you to set the iDestination to which is chosen. If html is chosen, they can select the print from the file menu.

PDF requires a little more effort. You'll need to save the pdf to a temporary file on the server and then download the pdf to the end users machine using FileDisplay(). You'll also want to setup a windows task schedule to clean the pdf files from the temp folder.

Cheers!
Ken
