Detecting Errors When Printing Programmatically

[Shane]

Hello,

I'm using the programmatic printing method described in this page. It's working so far, but is there a way to detect if the printing fails after calling the reportProcessor.PrintReport() method?

Thanks,

Shane

Wait, would putting the PrintReport() call in a Try and catching any exception that occurs work? Does a failed print throw an exception?

Hello Shane,

Once the document is processed, it is submitted to the printer machine.  If there are error during the processing, they can be caught in the ReportProcessor's Error event. The tasks of the printer machine are out of the scope of the reporting engine.


If you prefer, you can export programmatically the report and print it with custom code e.g. export in XPS and print XPS documents. The approach will give you control over the printer tasks.

Hi Stef,

Thanks for the information. I'll try out a couple methods.
