Reportprint with more then one tray

[Konstantin Spielmann]

Hello team,

i try to print a Reporbook from 3 trays under C# in one printjob. Such as

• page 1 <- tray 2
• page 2 <- tray 3
• page 3 <- tray 4

Is it possible?

I can print them all from custom trays in different jobs without problems, but i need them all in one printjob because the printer have a stitcher to bound the document. How can i assign the printjob with more then one printerSettings?

My way now:

var reportProcessor = new ReportProcessor();

var printerSettings = new PrinterSettings { PrinterName = printer };

Report1 report1 = new Report1();
FillReport1();

Report2 report2 = new Report2();
FillReport2();

Report3 report3 = new Report3();
FillReport3();

ReportBook reportBook = new ReportBook();

reportBook.Reports.Add(report1);
reportBook.Reports.Add(report2);
reportBook.Reports.Add(report3);

reportProcessor.PrintReport(reportBook, printerSettings);

To print the reportbook from custom tray i can

printerSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = printerSettings.PaperSources[7];

How can i get it from differen trays?

Hope someone can help me.

Hi Konstantin,

The current version of Telerik Reporting works only with a single tray and you're the first one to request such functionality. We would log this in our features list and would consider researching on this matter if there is enough interest.

Please excuse us for the temporary inconvenience.

Sincerely yours,
Steve
the Telerik team

Hello,

This would be nice to have. We also are into an application where the first page needs to be printed on letterhead and all the rest on plain paper.

Thanks,

Has this idea been implemented in to Telerik reporting? We also need to do something similar.

Hello,

I solved this problem at that time with Telerik Reporting + (can i post it here?) Gnostice PDFOne .NET ProPlus Edition lib.

One feature of this PDF library is:

• ChangePaperSource event for changing printer trays for different pages in the same print job (ProPlus Edition only)

Best regards,
Konstantin

Is this implemented yet? It's been a few years and you said you would incorporate this feature into your future versions. I need to print to a specific tray and usually use papersource tray. Can a Telerik report be instructed to print to a specific printer / specific tray?
Thanks,

Sorry, didn't read the forum all the way. Only needed Konstantin's post. Not trying to print different pages to different printers.

Thanks,

printerSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = @"\\TTCFile\TCPL";
printerSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSource = printerSettings.PaperSources[4];
printerSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = printerSettings.PaperSizes[1];

This would be a great feature to add into the Telerik Reporting module, currently we would have to purchase another third party library to incorporate in current project
