  Is there a way to put a button on the reportviewer that will directly print the report to the default printer?
  
  I'm in Silverlight 5, latest release of Telerick controls and reporting.
  
  right now I have to selected print preview, and then print.
  
  Ideally I would also like to set then number of copies as well (defaulting it to 2).
  
  I've searched the forums, but can't seem to find anything.  does that mean it's not possible?
  
  Thanks.

  Hello Jason,
  
  The Print Method with overload that allows you to print directly to the default printer is available in Silverlight 5, while the Silverlight report viewer is still build against Silverlight 4. We plan to migrate to Silverlight 5 for the upcoming Q1 2012 release and if feasible would introduce option to print directly to default printer.
  
  The PrintDocument Class does not support setting the number of copies to printed document.
