1. I would like to print one of my database to a printer, how can I do that?
2. I would like to transfer one of my database to Microsoft Excel 97/2000, how can I do that?
The service pack for Visual Studio has fixed the problem when I print my report from VS, however when I deploy and print my reports from the SSRS website they are still incorrect.
My SSRS server is running SQL 2005 with service pack 2 installed and the 9.00.3152 9333097 Cumulative hotfix package (build 3152) for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 also applied.
I find it hard to believe the problem was fixed in the developer tool but NOT in the client tool?
How can I develop reports when the output from the developer tool is different to the output from the client tool?
For example I specify a box to be 5cm wide, and when printed from visual studio it is 5cm wide, but when printed from the SSRS website it is not 5cm wide!
Hello, I am trying to get a SSRS 2005 report to print from my Visual Studio 2005 C++ application without using the ReportViewer to preview it first. What I have done is created a dll that I call into when I want to access a certain report and print it. While searching around on the internet I found an MSDN article about printing a report without previewing and it had an example in C# code. So I used that as a guide for my C++ code but I am still having problems with rendering the report properly so it can be printed. When I try to render a report using the "Image" format, my streamid string is empty but the byte array that the render routine returns is not. Here is the code I am using, what could be the problem here?
Note: m_Streams is define elsewhere as array<String^>^ m_Streams = gcnew array<String^>(10);
Very strange problem here with Reporting Services SQL 2005 SP1 with latest patch KB 918222 on Windows Server 2003 SP1. The clients PC are Windows XP both SP1 and SP2 and that's not affecting our problems.
When my default printer is set to the "Printer 1" (HP LaserJet 9000), when i look a report's into the Report Viewer and i click on the print button (printer image button that use the ActiveX RSClientPrint), i let the default printer to "Printer 1". In this case, the report is printed correctly.
Again with my default printer set to "Printer 1", i look the same report into the Report Viewer and i click on the print button again. This time i select another printer "Printer 2" (an older HP LaserJet 8000 DN) and the report is printed correctly.
Now the problem is when i set the "Printer 2" as default printer. If i go to the Report Viewer and i click on the print button for the same report that was printed correctly before, now the report seem's to be ok into the preview before i print, but when i send the job to the "Printer 2" the report require a unknown paper format, so the "Printer 2" ask paper into the tray 1 (manual feed) and the result of the printed report is not good. The right and the bottom seem's to be cutted. I tried to reduce the report dimension without good results. The report is always cutted to right and bottom and the printer ask paper into the tray 1 (unknown paper).
Is't not the end, if i print the same report on the "Printer 1" when the default printer is "Printer 2", the report is printed correctly.
I have tried to use another printer than the "Printer 2" to see if the problem is the printer. I tried the "Printer 3" (HP LaserJet 9050) as default printer, i print the report on this one and i have the same problem than with the "Printer 2". And if i set "Printer 1" as default and i print on the "Printer 3" the report is printing correctly.
For all the printers i have the latest drivers. The same problem is occuring on all other PC other than mine.
We have checked the printers configuration and all seem's to have the same configuration.
Can this be a bug with the ActiveX RSClientPrint or what ?
Note that all previews before printing are good with all printers, but with the "Printer 2" and "Printer 3" set to default, the printed report was not the one i saw into the Preview.
Below a link to a sample report that we have. All our reports have the same global dimensions.
So I have been asked by our sustainability person to create report from our printing data that actually shows the number of pieces of paper used. This is easy enough for single-sided printing, but when printing in duplex the software does not take into account that 3 printing pages actually equates to 2 pieces of paper. I know this sounds simple, but say I have a print job record that looks like this:
This is a print jobs that if done correctly is actually 21 pages( duplex printing). If the job is say total_pages =5 I cant just divide by 2 because its actually using 3 pieces of paper ( yes they are wanting this data don't ask why). How can I adjust some sql to accurately depict 5 pages, front and back, as 3 pieces of paper?
I have deployed a report that is configured for landscape printing. It does print in landscape, however, only the first seven columns appear on the first page and the other five columns appear on the next page. Is there a method, like in print preview setup in MS Excel, where we can scale down the print (like to 80%) so all columns appear on each page?
All -- Please help. I am having trouble printing a database diagram. When I do, I get junk artifacts on the page on each table, shaded areas that obscure part of the picture. I get these results when I print with Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and when I print to my HP4200N laser printer. Is there a required driver or something? Please advise. (I apologize but this is the only good place I could find for this post-- if you have any hints for other locations then please post links.) Thank you. -- Mark Kamoski
Using SQLServer 2005 Express Ver 9.00, the Database Diagrams print with what looks like page borders overlapping on top of the field names. I have to document my database layouts in printed format and...this bug is not helping any!!! I've seen other posts around town so I know its not an issue with my installation, but a known and reported bug. Anyone know of when a Fix will take place, or is there a workaround?
In Crystal Reports, you could suppress the printing of a report if no rows were retrieved from the database server (ie: zero pages would be sent to the printer). This was done by opening the Report Properties dialog in the report designer and setting the "Suppress Printing if No Records" to true.
Is there a way I can reproduce this behavior in SQL 2005 Reports?
Anybody please help me about the printer. I have a user want to print the letter from tray3, he slects the tray3, but it always print from tray2. I tried by myself. It is the same thing. Anybody can help me?
Is there a way to route a file directly to a printer? I have a process that creates PDF file in a known location and I would like to route them directly to the printer after creation.
using (FileStream fs = File.Create(@"C: est est.txt")) { using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs)) { sw.WriteLine("******************");
try { Stream streamTemp = (Stream)testFiles[0].Data; byte [] byteData = new byte[streamTemp.Length]; for (int i = 0; i < byteData.Length; i++) { byteData[ i ] = (byte)streamTemp.ReadByte(); }
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteData)) { string result = Convert.ToBase64String(ms.ToArray()); sw.WriteLine(result); } } catch (Exception ex) { sw.WriteLine(ex.Message); }
sw.Flush(); } }
After I re-deploy the modified assembly and create a simple subscription, it fires, and there are no exceptions. But instead of some good-looking XML in the test.txt file, I get this:
[Actually, there are much more slashes, but I am showing just the beginning of the file - for brevity...]
When I run this report in ReportManager and export it as "XML file with report data", that XML exported file looks exactly as I expect it to. So, the data is there, in the report, but how do I extract it?
I've been trying to figure out why I am not getting the real content of the report in XML format. Maybe, this line is wrong: RenderedOutputFile[] testFiles = notification.Report.Render("XML", deviceInfo); AND/OR this line is wrong: deviceInfo = String.Format(................etc. AND/OR I am using a wrong method for converting the Stream to a string. ...or, something else?
Could someone kindly help me figure out what I'm doing wrong, please?
I have a windows NT service, which prints to a laser printer programmatically using MSRS 2K. It works fine with a HP printer however when I try printing to a Lexmark Printer it does not always print. Somebody help. Microsoft please release a latest patch for MSRS 2K, its been so long since we had one.

I am looking for a way to remove the printer symbol from the report manger because it dows not work on some client machines because they are locked down. For us it is completely sufficient to export to PDF.
Is there a setting or an entry in the web config or something else. A hint would be helpful
I have installed the printer delivery sample and made the changes to the config files as described in the documentation but can only see it available as an option in the data driven subscriptions section. Anyone know how I can get it to show up in the standard subscriptions option?
My company has a .Net app that embeds the reportwriter for displaying (and printing) reports. This seems to work fine visa vis printing reports in landscape mode, although odly if you look at the printer properties it SAYS it is priting in portrait. In any case, the problem comes when this default reportwriter isn't used but rather an rdl file is generated programmatically. No matter what width and height settings we use, the document unfailingly prints in portrait mode. I've looked to see whether there is any way to force the printer mode, but it seems there isn't, at least not through an rdl. Or what SHOULD work (setting the width larger than the heigh) does not. I'm wondering if anyone else here has run into difficulties like this if there are any solutions or places I might look for answers? Thanks!
I am developing an applicaiton through which, i want to print from pocket pc emulator 2003. I am using PrinterCE.NETCF SDK to do this task. I am able to print from my applicaiton like we do in ASP (Printing one line at a time). In PrinterCE, there is an option of printing the output to a file. But, I am not able to find how we do it.
So, I want to know how we can print the output through PrinterCe into a file. Can anybody help me??
Hey all, I'm new to SQL and am having some troubles w/ a problem I was given. I have two tables (OrderTableA & OrderTableB) which are linked by an OrderID. What I need to do is have the two tables printed out to two txt files. Below is the code I have so far.
SELECT OrderID, "#" + OrderDate AS OrderDate, "&" + CustomerID AS CustomerID, Total FROM OrderTableA;
SELECT OrderID, Quantity, Discount, UnitPrice FROM OrderTableB;
The txt file for OrderTableA has to look like this: !!OrderID OrderDate CustomerID Total ---------- ----------- ----------- ------ 123456 #123456 &123456 123456
with the !! before OrderID in the header, the # before OrderID in the table and the & before the CustomerID in the table.
I'm not sure my code above is correct so far, and I've no idea how to print this to two txt files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
I have a report with two columns. It works fine in SQL Reporting Services, but when I push it to the Report Server it only prints one column instead of the two that it's set up to print.
Hi i'm having a problem in printing a reporting services report. Between each page it's giving me a white paper. What can i do in order not to get the white papers anymore? Any help?
I have a script or SP that takes a very long time to performmultiple tasks, and after each one there is a PRINT statementthat shows the time and what was just accomplished, to help memonitor what's happening and estimate how long it will take.In a script, I can put a GO after each PRINT to cause the outputto appear immediately, but that's not possible inside an SP.Instead, it seems the output goes to a buffer, and the bufferis only output when a PRINT causes the buffer to become full.Sometimes there is a long delay before the buffer fills. Isthere a way other than GO to cause immediate printing? (Iguess I could just use longer messages, and fill up thebuffer with every one, but that's not very elegant.)Thanks,Jim GCountrywide Home Loans
Hi! I recently begin to use reporting tools of SLQ 2005 instead of AR or CR. I found the DUI very easy to use and I'm partially sastify beause when I try to print my report, the printer always blow out a second white page. For one page report I can live with that but for 156 page report it's becoming a lot annoing. Is there somebody who experience the same problem? And by the way resolve it?
Here the dexcription of the report:
Is a list grouped by clientId with a sub report getting the clientId from the parent one as the parameter. Event with the insert page break after list true or false the result is the same while printing.
I have created a blank report in VS 2005. I set the pagesize to 21cm x 29,7cm (A4) and margins to 1cm. Body size is 19cm x 27,7cm. I set the body border to 1pt. When I print this blank report I won't get printed as I expcted. The printed margins are very different from the margins which I set. Hos can I solve this problem?
We are displaying the reports in Web Application using Report Viewer control.When we run the report and want to take printout we are clicking on Print button of Report Viewer then it is giving error "Unable to Load Print control" Install some activex control.
With out this error how can we print the report. How to overcome this waring.
We have created reports with page size width : 11in and height : 8.5in so that we get pages printed in the landscape mode. We use HP LaserJet 3500 and reports were printing correctly in landscape format. Everything was working fine till we introduced a new printer Dell 1110 laser printer to the environment.
When we have our Dell 1110 laser printers set as default, the page setup IS NOT set to landscape and when I manually change it to landscape, it prints in a compressed portrait image rather than landscape.
However when the HP LaserJet 3500 is set as the default, it prints correctly in landscape.
As the client is using Dell 1110 laser printers i need to fix this issue immediately. Can someone guide me in resolving this issue..
