Printing reports and the cancel button in progressbar [message #253671]

Tue, 28 August 2007 06:03

Hello,

sorry for multi posting, but another error/question occures my report
engine.

When i use the button "Print report on the server" a printing dialog
opens. But in this dialog no printer is available. I just tried several
operating systems. On Windows no printer is available, on Linux (Ubuntu)
the standard printer is "not-accepting-jobs". The printers have been
installed as a local printer over the tcp-ip interface.

How could i use this printing function correctly?

The other concern is the ProgressBar. When i generate a reaaaallyyyy big
report and it takes too much time, the user could press the "Cancel"
button. But when this button is clicked and the question afterwards is
accepted, the progess will go on. The page is locating another one, yes,
but if i have a look on the system utilisation, the cpu efficiency is
about 100%.

Is it possible to cancel the progress by pressing the "Cancel" button? And
how could i use the printer on the server?

Bye Tom

Print on server client need Printer which supports postscript print. You
should install a Printer in your machine which support postscript print
otherwise the printer list will be blank.

Hello,

for generating a valid print under Windows i installed the
AdobePS
Printer on my server.

This Generic Printer is an interface to your printer, for instance
"Standard TCP/IP Port". It works fine ecpecting a little exception: When i
create a report in landscape format the driver will only print in portrait
format.

Is it actually possible to print a report in landscape format from the
BIRT engine? Or is it a bug from the Adobe PostScript printer?

Bye Tom

Hi Tom,

I could use your help. Could you please tell me how did you disable the "Print to Server" option on the birt reports?

Thank you so much for the help,

Dinesh
