programmatically changing the Paper Tray

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have an HP LaserJet Enterprise M605n with 6 trays. I am trying to print a report to a specific paper tray.

I used the following code, without success. can somebody help me out?

Dim printerSettings As Printing.PrinterSettings = New Printing.PrinterSettings
printerSettings.PrinterName = "\\sshmdc\Job Manager Printer"
Dim pagSett As Printing.PageSettings = New Printing.PageSettings(printerSettings)
Dim rptClientDoc As CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ISCDReportClientDocument = m_report.ReportClientDocument
Dim rasPROpts As CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions = New CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptions()
Dim iBins As Integer = pagSett.PrinterSettings.PaperSources.Count
If iBins > 1 Then
rasPROpts.BinName = "Tray 2"
End If
rasPROpts.PrinterName = pagSett.PrinterSettings.PrinterName.ToString()
rasPROpts.JobTitle = "Reporting"
rptClientDoc.PrintOutputController.PrintReport(rasPROpts)
pagSett = Nothing
rasPROpts = Nothing

I am using SAP Crystal Reports Runtime engine for .NET Framework (32 bit) 13.0.13.1597

and SAP Crystal Reports, version for Microsoft Visual Studio 13.0.12.1494

Hi Gary

Please see if the following KBA and sample app attached to the KBA will help:

You should also update your install to SP14:

Hi Ludek,

Yes that seems to have fixed the issue.

Thanks for your reply.

Hi Gary,

There are new updates to CR for VS SP 14 that allows you to select the default Viewers print mode that you may want to look at also.

I wrote a sample app the requires SP 14 and also covers the trays  ENUM's and other info.

Have a look at this KBA:
