Can't print from an ASP.NET 2.0 app

[Former Member]

I get an "The resource cannot be found error" when trying to print a Crystal Report from my app. Any thoughts on what would cause this. Thanks

        <CR:CrystalReportViewer ID="CrystalReportViewer1" runat="server" 
            DisplayGroupTree="false" 
            PrintMode="ActiveX"
            DisplayBottomToolbar="false"
            AutoDataBind="true" 
            ToolbarImagesFolderUrl="/crystalTemplate/toolbar/" 
            SeparatePages="true" 
            HasCrystalLogo="false"
            HasExportButton="True"
            HasRefreshButton="true"
            HasToggleGroupTreeButton="false"
               />

Hi, Evan;

Is this happening on your development computer, or a client?

If it is a client, how did you distribute the Crystal Reports Runtime?

Which version of Crystal Reports are you using?

Thanks for your suggestions.

Ludek - I used your code and yes it did list the available printers.

Amit - I'm using VS2005 and I'm coding in C#. The report does print just fine in the designer.

OK. Let's take a look at the code used. Can you copy and paste it here, please?

Also, can you try our sample apps? Here is a file that contains a number of C## samples:

https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252712008E/csharp_web_smpl.exe

One of the samples is called printtoprinter, see if that works

.

Oh, just as a reference, this White Paper is very helpful:

This app is still in development so it's on my dev pc. I can't roll it out without the ability to print. I'm using CR Developer 11.5.3.417.

Hi,

What version of visual studio you are using.

Is this the issue with .net environment only?

Is the report prints fine from the crystal reports designer?

Are the printers visible to the asp .net worker process? Try this code to see if that is so:

Dim cePrinter As String

For Each cePrinter In System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters

Response.Write(cePrinter)

Response.Write("<BR>")

Next
