If u remember, in ASP 3.0 (traditional) u were using Crystal Report 8.0, & the print button was printing the ONLY report part in the page! Clearly: only ur RPT file's contents was printing (It was handling itself). but now in ASP.NET in final step (version 9.0) when u push print button in toolbar of ur report page! it sends a print command of ur Browser! Its like u pressed Ctrl+P.

I hope I was clear this time, let me khow.

Hi,

If you cannot trust the printing format from browser. Normally, I just export it to PDF or RTF file then print it. It take more time to download your PDF or RTF data but the format is really sharp.

Or if you do not want to click print on browser menu you can use some java script to help. This script you can search it from internet.

:)

Guys i am printing the report file from aspx file by clicking on the button and
iam using crystal report 8.0.
iam not previewing the report in browser or i don't want to export it to other format
i am just printing the report.

Let me explain here
i have a BalanceSheet.rpt file and have print.aspx file.
A commond button on the print.aspx file will print the
BalanceSheet.rpt file, it is printing.
but it fails for other report files ( in this case the printer spools the pages and
displays the printing status for the print job, but it will not print why
does the rpt files has any problem or the printer itself).

thanks

I see. I used to have some problem similar to you. But I used crystal report 9. That time, I print crystal report output from aspx. But I will never see the picture and alot of data on the print job will missing.

This may help you. You can check on inetmgr (IIS). Crystal Report normally creates one directory to store image and content cache for your web application in order to speed up your web application. But many times, I found Crystal Report did not create this directory. (I still cannot find why???) You need to create this cache directory by yourself. Sorry that I am off from the crystlal report web app. machine now otherwise I can tell you the cache directory name.

If you have many web app. machine. Please check on other machine for this directory or you can try reinstall the system again.

I hope this will help.

Tnx for shared experience!
