issues printing from a web server

[Alex White]

Hi,

I am currently using the following code

 

System.Drawing.Printing.

PrinterSettings printerSettings = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings();

 

Telerik.Reporting.Processing.

ReportProcessor reportProcessor = new Telerik.Reporting.Processing.ReportProcessor();

 

reportProcessor.PrintReport(

this.MyReport.Report, printerSettings);

 

in server code to print directly to the default printer, this code works perfectly when I run it in the visual studio environment, when I port the code to the web server this code then fails, something to do with access denied.

Message: Access is denied.

Line: 346
Char: 9
Code: 0
URI: http://paml111/Telerik.ReportViewer.axd?name=Resources.ReportViewer.js&version=4.0.10.310&optype=Resource

any asstaince with this would be great.

thanks

Hello Alex,

This KB article elaborates on the printing capabilities of Telerik Reporting: Print Report straight to printer.
Namely, the problem here is that PrintReport is server-side method and tries to print on the server i.e. the code works and probably invokes the Print Dialog of the web server itself.
While your actual goal is to allow for the user to print, which has to be done on the client via javascript. This works on your dev machine, as it plays the role of both server and client.

Best wishes,
