I have a requirement to generate a report which reports data from 2 different regions.. Results of regions printed in a different letter head,

So my question is :
Is it possible to have a master report call two subreports, and for each sub-report 1 automatically send the report for print to a printer 1
and sub-report 2 to printer 2
Any help pls...

Have you tried using the postscript emitter, sending the output to the appropriate printer?

actual requirement is to print different reports from papers kept in different printer tray.

i was not able to select printer tray through code .. so i created virtual instances of the printer with the idea of sending each report to a different instance of the printer.

for some reason postscript was not supported in the birt ( from maximo - birt 3.7.1 ). i m using pdf, html emitters

//Code:
selectedPrinter=PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();

inputStream = ByteArrayInputStream(reportOutput);

aset=HashPrintRequestAttributeSet()
aset.add(MediaTray.MIDDLE)

job = service.createPrintJob( )
doc = SimpleDoc( inputStream,DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.POSTSCRIPT, null )
job.print( doc,aset )
--
This code throws an exception saying invalid docflavor

So, Maximo doesn't have the postscript emitter, so you try to use PDF instead? You could always use BIRT separate from Maximo. You might also take a look at this:
