Will this reporting tool have a Print Control that is similar to the ActiveX control that Crystall uses? The reason I ask is that the common downside I have seen to web reporting is the print mechanism. Most of my customers like to actually have the Print dialog open when they click on the "Print" button, not just open a printable version or export to pdf to be printed. This is one of the benefits of Crystal's product is having a print control - even if it is ActiveX.

Hello Paul,
We are aware of the problems with printing reports from the browser but as of now, we're not planning to provide a similar print control. Such an ActiveX will solve the problem partially as only Internet Explorer supports ActiveX objects. When using Mozilla, Safari, Opera or any other browser, you will still won't be able to print a report as you wish. So the best way is to download the report as PDF or TIFF document (both formats will be supported from the telerik Reporting) and then print the report from it.
